Well, the obvious thing to do is rebuild the calipers after curing the paint. Pull the pistons and seals and place tin foil in the bores before curing the calipers. Rebuild them after the paint is cured.

While JFP makes a point, there are ways around this too.

Line the oven with tinfoil, or 'tent' the caliper in tinfoil before placing it in the oven, dispose of it afterward. Also, with hi-temp paint, you allow it to air dry at room temp and only heat it to cure the already dried paint meaning that there will be very few released particulates. Since the range hood is usually in close proximity to the oven, I'd run it for the time you're curing, and as an added precaution close any doors leading into the rest of the house. Then, of course, you would always want to clean the oven afterward. I have used my oven to cure items and never had an issue following these guidelines.

Cheers!
