Would love to do this myself. Prep, painting and lacquering I think I'd be fine.

But I have no technical knowledge of how to remove and refit the calipers. Plus I use the car quite often and don't think I could afford to have the car out of action for however long is needed to spray etc.

Loving your calipers stubee, I'd love them on mine, albeit maybe in a slightly darker shade of green.

You can do them on the car, I have on mine and all it took was a load of newspaper, masking tape and spraying at some weird angles but the job was easy, just time consuming.

Ah similar to the brembo refurb guide? Hmmm I guess no one would see the other side of the caliper in theory.

Yeah, exactly the same principle but with paint. You can actually do all of the caliper but it just involves some bendy hands, alternately just undo the two caliper bolts at the back and slide it off the disc leaving it attached to the brake lines. This won't affect your brakes at all and makes life loads easier. You need a whole weekend to do this, Saturday to rub down and apply all coats, over night to dry and the Sunday to sticker up and apply lacquer. Leave over night until Monday and they'll be hard enough to drive :)
