Painting Brake Calipers

So I did a search on painting brake calipers. I didn't find much information. Do you guys suggest taking the brakes apart first or doing them right on there? Can someone give a detailed process cuz I've heard horror stories of painting calipers not going right. I'm planning on buying this brake caliper paint for 16 bux at Kragen. Silver color. My roomate is gonna paint his black on his tiburon and is gonna take his brakes apart. How hard is this on his car? It's simple on his car apparently. Thanks in advance guys.
