Spray is kind of a *****, being that I don't want to get any on the stopping surface...

the duplicoat caliper paint uses a brush and it came out fine. get black caliper paint (or whatever color you're looking for) and you can paint the hats...

but the hats are smoother than the caliper so brush strokes would show more
