If you've got the G2 caliper paint kit, you don't have to take the calipers off. Makes things MUCH easier.
With this kit, you have a narrow window in terms of painting time because the paint will set between 4-6 hours.
The directions recommend allowing 2 hours for the calipers to dry before placing the wheel back on, but you've got a dilemma if you don't have access to a lift or blocks because doing each wheel one-by-one is clearly going to take a while. By that time, your paint won't be good anymore and you'll only have done 1 or 2 calipers. It's also recommended that you not use the paint in temperatures over 70 degrees, so this isn't a summer project.
I have the G2 kit and am faced with the dilemma of getting all four tires off at the same time because I don't have access to a lift.
If anyone else on the list has painted their calipers, can you let us know how you did it?
