How do you paint Calipers? Do they have to be removed?

[BeccaBell78]

Can anyone explain the best way to paint calipers? Do they have to be removed? And it is a relatively simple job? Thanks

I went to autozone and got some brake cleaner in the spray can and a spray can of the VHT racing red caliper/drum paint.
Didnt remove anything just took the wheel off, cleaned it off with the cleaner and used a newspaper to sheild the inside of the wheel well and car body..i got paint on the rotors but after like an hour of driving it was perfectly clean...
I got the caliper back rotor cover and the part of the rotor that was rusted.. easy job. I took the extra time to clean the inside of my rims too looks nice but i dont have a camera right now...

Did the same...less work and looks just as good as when they're taken off.
