Powdercoat them. I painted my rears on my fox and damn do they look like shit up close. That's that I'm good with a aerosol can.

Yeah maybe the gun helped you. The can looks like shit, well to me. Other people don't notice it like I do. They only notice my rears are red and the fronts are unpainted.

How did you prep calipers before painting? Wire wheel and brake cleaner? I am sure good prep is the secret.
