Pretty much:

One can of the primer
Two cans of the color
One can of the clear

That's for 4 calipers.

What kind of tools did you use to clean the caliper, other than sand paper? Did you use and razors, brushes, etc? There are allot of grooves, so it doesn't look like it was easy. Fantastic job man!!!

Nice work; looks like they came from the factory that way.
