if you can handle taking a tire off you can handle painting these. Probably one of the easiest appearance mods you can ever do.

Probably if you were under the car you'd see where the paint stops - but how often does that happen! Unless of course you're in the habit of running over people - but I suspect they'd have more to worry about than unpainted bits of your caliper!
