you have to do one at a time

1. Remove the rim
2. Make sure u let the caliper cool down
3. Remove the rust off w/ a scrub brush
4. wash off the caliper (Water w/ dish washing liquid in it, that's wat i used, and scrub it w/ tooth brush)
5. Let it dry good
6. put newspaper around it so the paint doesn't get on anything else including the brake pad (use maskin tape)
7. Paint one good cote and let it dry (i used a fan) , put about two or three(the most) cotes and MAKE SURE IT'S REALLY DRY let it dry for about 3 hours u can also use a blow dryer
8. Put ur rim back on

IT'S NOT TOO HARD JUST TAKES LOT OF TIME TO DRY CUZ IF IT'S NOT DRIED GOOD U'LL GET PAINT ON UR RIMS AND THAT'S REALLY BAD ....
