i was in the same boat heres what i did.

1) properly lift car up and secure it
2) removed wheels took off the caliper + bracket
3) sand them down to the point where you think youve overdone it, then keep going some more
4) i know people paint them off the car but i put them back on and then masked off the wheel well and painted them.
5) i used high temp block + caliper paint, started off with a primer layer, let it sit for 1 hr then started painting with the red. I applied 5 coats of red + 2 of clear.
6) then removed everything, baked it in my oven as hot as it would get for 3 hours then put it back on the car (rotors and pads and everything)

its been over a year, Canadian winters are worse than anything youll ever see in cali and i put on close to 30k km a year, no chips, no paint fade, it all looks mint
