Is removing the calipers hard? any one have a guide?
You don't have to remove the calipers just wire brush them pretty good cover things up with newspaper and tape things off. I used high heat engine block paint on mine before and they clean up easily.The paint should cost you under $10 try Napa or someother auto parts store.

I painted mine and didn't buy the brake paintkit, it seemed kind of expensive. So i just bought high heat paint its worked so far the paint doesn't look burnt andhasn't faded.

depends on your paint. if you sand and prep them good and you some appropriate paint you shouldnt have any problems.
