I used engine enamel from Duplicolor (same brand I used for the paint kit) and the first caliper I did, overspray definitely showed and dried as a clear drip.

You can clean the wheel wells when you remove teh wheels to 1) paint the "top Hats" and 2) paint the wheel bolts.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Decided to do my calipers yesterday since it was raining all day in Minneapolis. The project went well, however since I could only lift 1 side of the car up at a time (from the rear jack point) it literally took me all day. I was up and at it around 8 or so in the morning and finished around 6-7 at night! Well worth it though, very pleased with the outcome.
A few pointers for people looking to do this:
1. Give yourself a bit more time than you think!
2. Don't go overboard on the clear coat. I used engine enamel from Duplicolor (same brand I used for the paint kit) and the first caliper I did, overspray definitely showed and dried as a clear drip. I am a perfectionist so I had to re-do the caliper a bit, but it turned out ok. Just don't overspray and I recommend doing a few light coats over one or two heavy ones.
Looking forward to presenting more pics of updated turbo bumper and side skirts, Fabspeed sport cats/mufflers, etc! Hopefully in the next week so my car will finally look the way I want it to!
Great job, bonus points for cleaning the inner wheels while you had them off the car. Subtract points for not doing the same with the wheel wells however.
