Mandyfig have you done the rear calipers? I want to get mine installed and shops are quoting me around $150 to install all 4. Seemed too pricey for something that is somewhat simple. They said it'd be 1.9 horus just for the front...

No I have not done the rears. But should be straight forward, same as the front. I can believe 2 hours of work from the dealer. But the time you prep and actually do the change out, yeah, 2 hours is reasonable.
I will be painting my calipers eventually and was planning on tearing (the front and rear) apart so I can paint them better. Eventually I will get to it.

I am looking at high temperature paint but can not decide on what color. Silver or Black?
The other option was to just put on the primer gray first, which is available by paint brush, which is actually easier than spraying. Then decide to do the final coat later.
To do a proper paint job, it has to be primer then top coat.

White Gold Crystal, hence gray will not be bad.
