It was quite straight forward all the way... And If I say like that, it definitely is :)
Just remember to put some piece of wood/hard stuff next to piston when you use air pressure to shoot it away. With wood/something it wont fly everywhere :D
And normal things like cleaning (sand blasting would be the best) whole caliper before painting is mandatory that paint will stick. Also use proper "heat" paint or similar.
