Done this in another forum, and the responce kept me busy for 2 weeks worth of weekends, so I thought I would throw the question up in here....
Who would be interested in a caliper painting day, roll in, jack em up, get the wheels off, and get into painting the calipers.
I have some paints, but as I said with the other forums, it's mainly a DIY day, but I will help with people, provide power, space, and also get into it myself as well.
I did mine today (finally) after 4days of working on everyone eleses car, and mine came up bloody awesome (photos shortly).
Just thought I would offer the same thing in here for members.
Fronts on mine took about 2.5 hours, the rears are not touched yet because I have limited 'special' paint.
I will do the rears in 2 weeks time, and if people are interested in doing theirs at the same time, feel free to come around.
At the moment this is Expressions of Interest, but if there is enough interest, and the dates suit people, then I would look for maybe Mid - Late November for a date that fits with everyone.
BTW, last time we did this, we got the BBQ out and burnt some meet with the guests and neighbours, it was an awesome day all around.

Hi Brian, I have been planning to do this on my car and have the same problem as Vinh, calipers can be seen and look unattractive. The BBQ sounds like a good idea as well. Is it supply your own paint or have you some to sell. I don't want you to be out of pocket on my account. Kelvin

When I set up a caliper day, it will be bring your own paint and clear-coat.
I will supply power, trolley jack to lift and lower, and I have limited amount of Jack stands as well to sit the cars on while the wheels are off, I also have a drill and steal wire brush for cleaning the calipers and sandpaper as well for the difficult to clean areas.
Other than that, it's pretty much bring your own.
If your a fussy eater, bring your own meat to burn, otherwise I will get some meat from the local butcher and burn that on the BBQ.
Last caliper day was with OzMazda.Com, it was such a success that people most people where back on Sunday even if they where not getting anything done.
Also had a few extra people come over on the Sunday, and the following weekend as well.
So many people that I never got my car done until yesterday.
