Torque Specs for Brake Caliper Bolts?

Is there a specific torque specification for brake caliper bolts? I'm painting my calipers and I want to make sure I attach them right. I kind of need my brakes. ;)

I did the first wheel, and I just made them very snug. I tried to match it to how hard they were to take off. Is that ok?

Is this right?

Guide bolts are the first picture.

Caliper Brakcet Bolts are the second picture.

Right?

No wonder the bracket bolts were so much harder, they get torqued more than triple that of the guide bolts.
