That kit is not that bad, but the brush is TRASH.
Get a new brush and some 400 grit sandpaper.
Its all about the prep work my dude. ohhh and thanks :)

just unbolt the caliper brackets (2 bolts) and hang on a wire, and paint away.
 
Re: Painted calipers

I just repainted mine for like third or fourth time in as many years as I've owned this car. Lets see how long it lasts this time. I sanded them real good this time so hopefully that helps.
