It was pretty easy once i found a good spot to jack the car up on. The calipers are really easy to take off. I tried the spray paint for calipers (found at auto zone) but didn't really work to well so I sanded it down and used hand paint, just a reg caliper paint set, found any where. The results look great I thought. I also put on decals, witch I bought from Xenonmods (http://www.xenonmods.com)

Hey, that's my car! I have a MGM and just finished (this weekend) painting the calipers Red. It took me about 3hrs from start to finish -- includes two coats each. I really like the way they look, especially on a dark car. A lighter car, they would not look that good, IMO.

Good work!

Looks good. I used G2 to paint mine and I did the brackets in black and the calipers in red.
