Caliper painting - paint back of pads also?
For those of you who painted your calipers did you do the brake pads also? I figured if you used the spray on, then the back of the pads are painted also. Are there any problems with the paint coming off the pads? Also, are there any problems with the shims sticking to the caliper if painted?

No problems. I masked off the discs and surrounding area and painted the whole caliper, back of pad too. I've since changed my pads and had no problems removing them, and no problems with breaking, squeeking, etc, etc. Go ahead and paint them with the pads in there, just be careful of the discs, shocks, wheel well lining, etc..
