I've been looking around the internet for guides to painting calipers, and they seem to vary a lot and none of them are for celicas specifically. I was wondering if anyone on here who has done it has any method(s) that they feel works well. Thanks!
P.S I dont have a whole lot of experience so far with cars so a simple method would be appreciated

Yeah, i guess that's the difference with brush on. It gives a thick glossy finish that's easier to clean. I only re-do mine about every 3 years

I only re-do mine about every 3 years  not on the celica anymore but yeah the spray can is only trouble. you have to mask the whole car, if not the overspray is gonna be on things   ***okay here is a pic of my friend's IS350 X pack. pretty much did the step by step ^^^^
