What if I wanted to change the color of my calipers that I previously painted. Do i just paint it over or should I remove all the previous paint first?

Gee, thanks . My wife actually told me not to to put ANY pics to my myspace page before it is painted, but she did not say anything about the forums...

Painting has been delayed due my 6mo unemployment. I just cannot line up $500-700 right now...

I have this photoshop creation, so you can see what it could look like:

I just removed clearcoat using wirebrush. I left rest of the paint alone. Just used a lot of brake cleaner...

Thanks for both. I chose this pic for Avatar because the wing and the lid are there, but not too obvious

Calipers look great, matching to the color of the car is a good look.

A small part of my painted caliper chipped off. Should I repaint the whole caliper or should I just touch up the chipped part?

What can I use to remove the paint from the calipers?
