Default caliber paint

I got the spray can, after doing 1 wheel, I think I had enough of it. Too much mist going all over the place. I know I didn't cover enough, but it's a pain to tape everywhere and everything. I know there is brush type of caliber paint, anyone done it with those who can recommend a few brands and places to get them at? Thanks in advance.

Take the calipers off, wash, clean with carb cleaner, then paint.

What's carb cleaner? Same thing as regular cleaning stuff? I didn't clean it with anything special just normal cleaning stuff.

go to your local advance autoparts store...they have break caliper stuff. dura-somethingorother sells an entire kit with cleaner, masking tape, brush, and paint...get an extra brush though incase the brissles come out of yours like mine

cool thanks peeps. I'm the lazy type I want to get this done without taking off the the claliber itself. I was just reading the post about the jack gave in and stuff. I'm too scared to leave it without wheel for that long while the paint dries.
