Did you use a bucket for a jackstand!?! That's nice a wise decision. If you did, I'm glad no one got seriously hurt. Early in my career, I think early 94, I had a call where the car fell on a guy and he was killed because he wasn't using jackstands.

PEOPLE get over this stupid ____ about the bucket! read my 1st post IS NOT BEING HELD UP BY THE BUCKET. i have SUV jackstands that u dont see. the bucket was there because i had water in it when i was washing the car.

the white does not get all that dirty. i put about 3-4 coats of white then 3-4 coats of clearcoat.

any dust that gets on there wipes away easily or when water hits it breaks off. no hard, you just have to use your brain. i recommend taking it apart.

Did you have to bleed your brakes after taking the calipers off?

No the brakes do not have to be bled unless you completly remove the calipers from the car by disconnecting the brake line. I just unbolted them and painted them while they were still attached to the car via the brake line. The only time you have to bleed your brakes is when you introduce air into the system.
