Learn how to refinish 91-05 Oem Honda/Acura NSX brake calipers utilizing VHT Caliper Spray Paint. Most other DIY show how to refinish the calipers while still mounted on the car and masking everything off. Of course most people don't want to go through the trouble of removing the calipers and bleeding the system afterward, but removing and disassembling the calipers is the most thorough way to refinish the calipers.
According to VHT no primer is necessary as long as the calipers are stripped down to bare metal and scuffed w/320 grit. I only used VHT Gold Caliper paint and VHT Clear Caliper paint. Roughly 3-4 cans of color and 2-3 cans of clear.
