It'll be difficult to paint them properly on the car because you won't be able to get at the areas covered by the carrier and the pads.
I did mine off the car (still not easy but you can get at everything). I used 2 primer coats and 2 top coats. Then new pistons, seals, springs & valves fitted.
Top coat was POR15 Caliper Paint -

Primer was POR15 Rust Preventive coating (as recommended in the instruction label on the above top coat tin) -

All coats were brushed on.
Mine were blast cleaned first (I gave up trying to de-rust them manually).
