Yes, a bunch of us locally will be painting our calipers on Saturday!
And, nobody will be disassembling their calipers!
In fact, there is a group buy running right now for some high quality, high temp
caliper paint.

i painted mine (third car ive painted) without taking off the calipers. You need to clean the calipers well tho. I used a small circular grinder and then washed all of the break dust out. (wheel cleaner can help too). After i used a small paint brush (and put a coat on and used a industrial strength dryer to dry it. I put about 8 coats on. Make sure your coats are thin so it looks better. The dryer makes the coats more glossy...hope that helps.
