Painted wheels & brake callipers

Hi all, I wish to paint my alloys black (red car). The brake callipers are grey at the mo, they will need to be red - what's the best way of doing these, can they be easily removed and painted - should they be done the same way as the wheels, shot-blasted and powder coated?

I did the same thing to my 986. I pained the calipers myself. Then had my wheels professionally powdercoated. Definitley a good investment. If you have any questions feel free to ask =)

Heres a pic of my car-
