The spare tire jack.. 2 part question

I want to paint my brake calipers. I was looking in the manual for where it said the proper place to put the jack was.. but it wasn't very clear to me. It has some illustration and it says the spots are about 8 inches rearward of the front wheel and 8 inches frontward of the rear wheel.. but theres nothing that really looks like a good spot to me atleast.

Now as far as painting them.. Is it possible to paint the calipers while they are on the car or is it best to take them off?

If you look under your car right behind the front tires there is a extension coming off the frame that is where you put the jack.
