Nice job Detours. One kit have plenty of paint for all four calipers?

Plenty. I had my doubts about that little can, but we put two full coats on all four calipers and still had half a can left. If I had known how little we needed, I would have cleaned and prepped something else to paint.

I'm glad we had extra brushes though. The one they included fell apart halfway through the first coat.

 

Everything prepped and ready!

 

I have the G2 kit 'en route' for painting my front calipers (R53 if it matters). Obviously removing the calipers will give a more professional finish, but how involved is that? A YouTube search seemed to suggest 4 bolts is all you need to remove. I'm definitely non-mechanical and don't want to end up with brake pads falling out or sensor wires being pulled out....

Any help appreciated.

 

Anyone try these covers from ABS?

Collectively as a community, its safe to say we all flinch at the though of plastic covers i reckon. You are free to do so as its your car, just saying its a bit of a faux pas on a mini\bmw etc.
