I painted a set of calipers for a GMC Jimmy 6 years ago. They were newly remanufactured. I cleaned them wih mineral spirits and wiped them down with acetone. Used VHT Caliper paint. I let them hang for about 10 or 15 minutes then put them in the over for about 15 minutes. My oven's lowest temperature is 170 degrees. Baking seemd to allow the paint to flow and form a veru smooth shiny surface. i recently gave the truck to a nephew (after removing the dic brake, LSD rear) The paint was still just as nice as the day I painted them.
I plan to do the same on a Honda Civic this spring when I upgrade to 4 wheel discs.
Since I was rebuilding mine anyway, I split mine but left the pucks and rubber on. I taped off the little area where the O ring sits...
Threw them in the blaster and glass beaded them. Blew them out and wiped them down. Hit them with eastwood caliper paint. Reassembled with New seals/pucks/boots etc.
I usually leave the caliper assembled, plug the hose port, degrease, sandblast, then disassemble, rebuild, degrease again, and paint. I use caliper paint (grey) from Eastwood.
