Depends upon what you use I would think. Do you have the paint? This is supposedly a really easy kit to use, [http://g2usa.com/brake\_caliper\_paint.shtml](http://g2usa.com/brake_caliper_paint.shtml) and it’s not spray on, self levels. I think my friend let hers sit over night before she put them back on… ---

Can you do around your rotors with the caliper paint, too? Obviously not where the pads come in contact with the rotor but around that. my wheels are very open and my brakes are in pretty good condition and free of rust but it’s still not good enough
