Just remove the bolts and take the caliper off and use a coathanger to make a hook to hang them up. Mask the brake lines using foil and masking tape, also mask the piston. Put newspaper in the wheel arch and spray away. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49246-painting-brake-calipers/#findComment-726396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try something else that stands out.I.B. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49246-painting-brake-calipers/#findComment-729275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
