it's very easy to do, i got the kit from autozone for $20

 

what all comes in that kit cuz i have a lot of rust remover and aceitone here at home and i can get a can of engine paint at menards for a few bucks

 

Engine enamel (500 degree) is what I used. This is after a few coats, no clearcoat, on my car last spring. Just clean them up well before starting. I used a foam brush, sprayed the paint into the paint can cap, and dipped the paint brush into it, then painted them that way.

 

This is the one I got:

thanks devil i think im just gonna do it how u did it. seems easier

 

It is easy. Spray the calipers and pad backings with brake cleaner and use a wire brush to clean them up thoroughly though, before you paint (and make sure they're dry), or the finish will look like hell. You may want to wait a couple weeks for the paint to cure before clearcoating (I've heard that, but in the past I've cleared them once the paint was dry and had no issues).
