Default Are Calipers easy to rebuilt ?

Im thinking of rebuilding my calipers and paint them gloss black to match my theme, blue/black, but I was wondering if its an easy process.

Also, Anyone know where I can buy power coated calipers ??? I think that will last longer than a paint from a local auto part store.

Thanks

Advanced Auto shows Power Coated calipers in their online store. I was thinking of getting a set.

Rebuilding is an option, I also pm'ed you a link on a source for calipers. Since they are not sponsors.

I prepped my previous set of calipers by sandblasting and then used dupli-color plasticoat. It stuck like crazy and never flaked or peeled. Took me all day and $6.
