    take them off, clean the hell out of them, sand them down and do it right.

    Someone painted mine (before I bought the car --- not knocking anyone ) while they were on the car. They look OK from 10 feet away, but it doesn't look so great up close and every time I work in and around the calipers, I get red paint all over my hands.

    I cleaned mine up off of the car and painted them with the kit you can buy at any autoparts store, its like $15 for the kit.









    Here's what they looked like when I got them.
