From what I have seen the paint does not last and to paint them properly you should disassemble them.

Autozone has Dupli Color caliper paint in various colors including red...$15. Just did mine last weekend and they turned out great. Saved myself $300 or so and the hassle of changing them out.
Just my $0.02.

paint will not last as long as the factory powdered coated Z06 calipers.
that's why I bought the Z06 calipers instead of painting my original ones.
