Default Need assistance with painting calipers

I wanted to paint my calipers and had a couple questions. Do you think I should brush them or spray them? If I remove the brake lines, do I need to replace any hardware (washers, fittings, etc)? They are the stock calipers, and I plan to paint them black. What kind of prep work do you suggest? Unless someone knows how I could match the Milano red with high-temp paint.

Thanks for the help.

i got one of those G3 brake caliper painting kits for free...

anyways you spray it with some cleaner, let it dry and brush on the paint. The paint is a high temp kinda paint. very glossy, and durable. Also its damn near impossible to wash off.

Clean the calipers up with a wire brush, powered preferably, and use some reducer to clean em after. I wouldnt use a brush, spray paint for sure.
