Painting Caliper

So I have been thinking about painting my brake calipers and I did some research over the past few days on the internet and reading some earlier threads on this forum. And I have made some decisions about how I am going to do this.

1) Color = Red: I thought about yellow but I think red just looks better on a white color Boxster. (Still undecided where I should buy it from) eBay or suncoast. I am also going to apply clear coat after I paint it as recommended by most people.
2) Caliper Decal: I am definitely getting it from xenonmods.com
3) My plan is to remove the calipers from the car and take my time cleaning and painting it instead of painting it while it is still attached. I assume it should be relatively easy to remove the calipers from the car?
4) Bleeding the brake: I read that some people recommend bleeding the brakes at the same time. Pardon my ignorance but is it really necessary?

Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
