Lol.... Tape and newspaper... Didnt feel like removing everything. Sprayed caliper with parts cleaner, scrubbed and sprayed again, then sprayed high heat primer, then 2 coats color, with a dry in between

I used engine enamel not caliper paint, hope it holds up.

Lol I did my ranger in blue when I had it. Had to buy new calipers at 60k miles so I thought wth I'll do Em
Engine enamel can withstand higher temps I've heard

LED footwell lights, my favorite cheap mod. Amazing bang for the buck.

They look 1000x better in person than they do in this pic

$20

It will be fine as long as the calipers don't leak brake fluid. I painted mine with regular rustoleum a year ago and they are fine.
