Default Painting Brake Calipers

I have painted Brake Calipers before but not a 350z...nor one that had VHC on the caliper. So anyone have an ideas of how i can paint it without freakin up the VHC components...

My buddy said if i took it off, he would paint and bake the color in so the high temperatures wouldnt fade out the paint as bad.

Any ideas or brainstorming??? Im getting open wheels 5 point soo i want nice lookin calipers...on my touring. One day i will get the brake system on the track edition but right now nope.

You don't need to remove the calipers to paint them, waste of time and you don't need to bake the paint either. The paint will cure on it's own from brake heat. Just take the wheels off and mask off what you don't want paint on, like the pad backing and clips, bleeder valve, brake line, etc..

I drove mine about an hour after was done. Didn't do any hard braking for 24 hours.

Hell I didn't even remove the rear wheels. yes and don't do red.
