After the disaster last attempt to remove my wheels myself (Ford torqued one of my lugs to over 250 ft lbs) I finally had the chance to paint my calipers and decided to paint the billet grill and grill surround as well:

After:
Grill I wetsanded with 600 grit and then primed with Krylon black...then painted with 3 coats of Krylon Satin Black
Brake calipers were cleaned with caliper cleaner, then I used a drill with a metal brush attachment to polish them, then painted with 3 coats each of Duplicolor caliper paint.
