CV or wheel bearings. i might be wrong, but it seems to be "that" symptom.

Bl_asd... you take the calipers off to paint them? If so, when you put them back on you didn't quite do it right... re-do the process and double check everything.

Bl_asd... go back, take it apart, and put it back together correctly. Take your time and it will all fit back the way it was...
