The biggest gains you'll get from this whole job is doing a thorough prep and taking your time masking areas where the pads make any contact with the caliper, rubber boots and bleed screw nipple, hosing to the caliper and then masking off the vehicle for overspray. I've seen the brush-on kind before, but a spray will float itself much better and leaves a consistant coat thickness, and without the potential for brush lines. The hardest part of the whole job was the dirty cleaning work and having the patience to let it cure since I wanted to hurry up, throw the wheels back on and check out how much better it looked. They clean 10x easier now since the finish is so smooth, so even with stock calipers, it was still worth it.
