Painting Calipers

Alright, so Id really like to pain my calipers...mainly because theyre a crappy color stock. What Im wondering is how thorough of a job can get without taking the caliper completely off the car? Ill take the caliper and bracket apart, and the pads out and all, but I just dont have the time to disconnect the lines and bleed them when Im done.

Also, what color do you think I should go with? I have an Imperial Blue Metallic SS/TC. I was thinking either color matched, white, silver, gold, black......haha I dunno....ideas?

white will get dirty and probably not look all that great after a while. silver might look nice
