Also, you'll want to get some painters tape, and a roll of brown painters paper, or plastic to mask off your car. Get a big plastic drop-cloth and we can tape off the whole area around your wheel wells and not get any overspray anywhere...

Also, why do we need to mask off/cover the car when we're taking the calipers off to painting them? We have to take them off anyway to put the new brake pads in.

Yeah, good point, we should be ok. Although, PART of the caliper will be staying on the hub - you planning on just leaving that silver? The majority will be getting painted....
