Is it ok to paint brake calipers while they are still on the car?

Some cheap ok kits on eBay.

I think it was easier to paint them on the car

Just mask up well, dont want it dripping anywhere. And use gloves!

I fancy doing this too as the blue is beginning to come off the brakes and hubs on my ST.
