I intend to paint my calipers SILVER.
I would like to know the best way to achieve a good job.
I do not wish to disconnect the brake pipes.
I would like advice on preperation, paint, COLOUR, coats, and any other work which would be necessary to carry out while in the process.
THANK YOU.

Get the calipers off - not a difficult job.
you can pick up hose clamps from the likes of Halfords and its only a 10 minute job - loosen the pipe at the caliper, remove the 2 locating pins / bolts, lift off the caliper and unscrew.
Will make the job a lot easier
