make sure to mask off the parts inside the caliper like the piston and the fingers- Anything that moves or touches the pad backs-- needs to remain clean (and properly lubed) for easy sliding of parts

enough paper and tape and you can protect everything!!, do the fenders
The question is why,,, when you have a viable alternative
Maybe you already have a can of spray paint- you can spray it into a disposable cup and use a flux brush or foam paint pad to do a really nice job
I used hi temp BBQ paint-flat black- as a primer coat, sprayed into a plastic bottle, then multiple coats of duplicolor gloss black caliper paint
Engine paint also works and has many color options

When I first did my pontiac, I got a little overspray on the fenders, but that cleaned up really easily with a claybar. (And I didn't even notice the overspray for a few weeks).
But when I did my other cars, I was more careful, and closed the garage door halfway, so it wasn't quite as windy (I'm thinking), as I went over my cars with a fine tooth comb, and didn't see any overspray...
But +2 about the spray in a bottle... I sprayed a little paint into the paint cap, and used a brush to get to places I couldn't get a good angle with the can.

thats the stuff- it seems expensive, about 3-5 dollars per roll, but worth it
When you use a power buffer on the car sometime, mask off the windows and rubber with it!
