Here's my build thread--lots of pics there: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62568. My detailer did the painting with Duplicolor I believe, four coats of paint and then two of sealant. No chipping after a year, even driving it through winter.

Do you recommend removing the calipers before painting or does just bagging them work?

This is my car, it's had some changes since then but the calipers are the same. I will need to repaint them though because it's chipping away. I'll do something more durable next time.
