I painted mine pewter on my old Z28. I just cleaned them off with brake cleaner, taped up the electrical connections, hung them up with zip ties and started spraying

I didn't clear mine just for the fact that the caliper paint just wipes clean without much effort. Plus the ceramic paint has a shiney hard surface after it completely sets up.
