Default Bleeding brakes?

well i just got some new rotors from spugen, so i figured since i got to put them on i might as well paint my calipers as well...

problem is i want to take the calipers completely off, and to do this you have to bleed the entire system... so im just curious if anyone has any experience with doing this or know of a place that will bleed them for me, take them off, and let me paint them...

also i've researched it already i just want would like to hear from ppl who have done it and problems they've had.

just bled mine a few weeks ago. it's really easy. i just put the car upon 4 jack stands and start bleeding from closest to master cyl to the furthest (as per the helms manual for the car). the first time i ever bled the brakes on the car i did it backwards and the brakes sucked. i figured i had to be doing something wrong and when i checked i had it backwards despite most cars being furthest to closest
