I know they are Cobra Calipers, but here ya go. I would recommend disassembling them completely before painting them. If you don't need the car for a week, get them powder coated. Then they will last forever as long as you take car of them.

Here are the stock Gt calipers. I just used some regular spray paint on these. You can see they didn't come out too great, but not too bad either. I still recommend a caliper rebuild and some powder coating.

you'll have to excuse the surface rust from just washing it before the pic. I have since painted the hub part of the rotors silver btw.

If you have to double up...you should probably just pass it up and look for better candidates

It doesn't look as good as the others but I did this with regular duplicolor ford blue high temp, I used the clear on them too but it looked like it was giving it a white film over it. I left the calipers on the car and just masked around them.
