well if you get any on the portions that the brakes touch then you'll want to get rid of that. but when i was doing it i was planning on having my rotors resurfaced after words so it didnt really matter

i did my fronts that way, the rears i strung them up by the strut springs, newspaper and taped off the wheel well and painted them. let them dry a few hours, and slid them back on, then touched them up of course lol
and some will leave them bolted on completely, and paint with a brush.
either way will look ok if they are cleaned up nice. dont forget the brackets, they need love too.

I was talking about the rotors but thanks for the advise on the calipers. lol

i never did my rotors, you cant see the hat part with my rims. but a cardboard cut out would be the way i would go. or the old paint and burn them off with the pads.
tape measure, a nail, pencil and some string go a long way lol

I just cleaned off the rotor brake surface with brake clean to keep paint off those areas.

Looks good, I had the same problem on both sets of GXP brakes.
I used these to keep them out of the way.

What did you mount the bushings and brackets to?
