I used basic Rust-olem brand spray.  Their is special 'hot' paint available,
and some have said they used Testors brand.  What I used worked fine -
however, I have not heated them up significantly through racing, but I have
autocrossed.  The Rust-olem my may not hold up in those higher-temp
conditions?

I ramoved the calipers in front, but did not disconnect the lines.  I taped
them. A good tape job worked well.  I could not get the hex screw loose to
remove the rears, so I did those by taping everthing.  Not what I preferred,
but it worked.
