good video!

theres a lot of ways to do this though.

to tell you the truth, i just spray the brake caliper with primer and then spray paint it red (or whatever), and then any remains I got on the brake disk, etc, i just twist the rotor away from the brake and then spray paint it all black. i keep rotating the disk until the rest is all spray painted black. I even spray paint the sides of the rotros and the inner section of it so they're will not be any rust shown ANYWHERE. when driving, all the ugly paint on the rotors will be scrubbed off from natural braking.

not sure about the op, but i just used brake caliper paint or any extremely high temp paint you can get at discount auto.

you really dont have to be perfect with it- this job is very easy, and like i said- you dont even have to worry about getting your brake caliper paint on the rotor or lines, etc in proximity of it because you can just spray paint all of that black afterward anyway.

I didn't even use newspaper to cover anything lol

i used the duplicolor paint bought it at pepboys for $20 it is one set comes with masking tape,paint,and brake caliper cleaner plus the stick to stir the paint and a paint brush. it will withstand 500 F according to the label been using it for 2 days now no signs of scraping or chipping on the paint.
