I haven't worked on the brakes on my EP but usually there are two bolts holding them on. I think some people have painted theirs with a brush, probably a lot less work since you wouldn't have to mask.

Its real easy...dont quote me, but I think its a 17 metric bolt...

there are just two of them behind the calipre, one near the top, one near the bottom...

I just spray painted mine black....

Put some newspaper over the rotors and just painted the caliper when it was hanging....you dont wanna disconnect them totally...the brake lines will be a pain to bleed and what not. Just get a jackstand and set the caliper on and just blast it with some high temp paint....

dont go rice either, or I'll find you and slay you
