Ill be doing this in the summer. Do any of you paint the pads as well ? Not the actualy brake pads but the thin metal thin that goes over the pad ?? Seen a few people paint that too. I would like to paint them too cause i hate how you can still see the pad if you only paint the caliper.

Why would you go to all the trouble to mask off and spray them? I have been brush painting calipers with rustoleum for 20 years and 7 cars and it works great. 2 coats and don't drive it for 24 hours and you're done with no disassembly.
