If you want to go to the trouble of taking the whole caliper assembly off then do so. However, I simply:
jacked the car up and took off a wheel,
washed the caliper well with toothbrush and truckwash degreaser and let dry (use hair dryer if you're impatient),
masked the appropriate areas off (no body will see the unpainted rear part of the caliper past the disc) ... make sure you be very patient with the masking because you don't want to get overspray on the disc etc.
sprayed several coats of caliper paint (from Supercheap...any brand will be adequate),
repeat for other wheels.
