they dont have to come off just a good rubb with a wire brush then dry them off and use hammerite with a small brush thats what i did

I didnt take mine off
Jack wheel up, take wheel off, newspaper and masking tape to cover everything but, then either spray of paint

make sure they are clean first thought

take them off you will get it much neater and get more of the caliper painted, after all its only a clip and two torx/allen bolts

easy mate got a decent finish by painting them on the car but for best results take off and spray.
