The moral of the story - change your brake pads before you paint the calipers!  Seriously though, I wouldn't expect the paint to chip that easily.... |

As shown in the pic above, I avoided painting any of the clips and mounting hardware so as to avoid any damage to the paint when the pads are removed. If they are I still have 2/3 of a can of paint left
