    How long did it take to paint the brakes?
    Thanks Wal, To paint the calipers it took the best part of a full day for me but I did it over a weekend to ensure that everything would go smooth. On the Friday evening I jacked the car up put it on stands and then took the calipers apart to the point you would when you are changing pads, removed the pads & gave the calipers a good cleaning then hung the calipers with coat hangers of the springs so it would be easy to paint both parts of the caliper.

    Then on the Saturday I did the painting took about 3 hrs to give them all 3 coats of the G2 paint

    Then on Sunday I put the pads back in and calipers back together and wheels back on. probably all up took about 8 hrs for this novice
