I wanted to put these pics for those who want or need to know my correct procedures to painting the calipers, while theyre still on the car.

1. Clean with a strong air pressured degreaser.

2.Sand

3.Primer

4.2 Coats of paint

5.Decal Application(if applies)

6. 2 coats of clear

Let about 30 min of drying in between coats, except for after painting the second paint coat, you should wait an hour.
Heat gun is necessary before and after each step until the painting of the color comes, after that just wait.

Hope this helps

Maybe a silly question but what is the 'right equipment'? I want to get more into painting but don't know where to start.

Air, paint gun, car lifter, heat gun, sand paper etc

I figured as much. I should have been more specific... Are you using a HVLP gun? What nozzle sizes for primer and paint? What type of compressor you running and how do you regulate the pressure and volume produced?
