It's really not that hard and its a lot easier with the calipers off the car. Buy brake paint at autozone and make sure to tape off all the areas that shouldn't be painted and give it a few good coats.

I painted my 06 brakes black before I put them on. I'd say just go get some of the stuff, make sure you take some time to prep well, and do a few coats if possible. I did 2 coats on mine, and sanded most of the stuff down for a good application surface.

just be careful when you put them back on. brake fluid will eat through the paint like its nothing. so bleed them carefully.
