best way i found was to jack it up and get the wheel off [obviously], then take a plastic shopping bag and put it over the caliper. then tear a little hole in it and basically get it around the caliper so the bag covers everything else. i had to use tape in a few places each corner but not much thanks to the bag technique. then just do 2-3 coats of high temp paint.

Yeah do what Initial D said...
If you just unbolt the caliper but dont remove it, make sure you dont leave it hanging by the brake line.. Make sure its supported. I just unbolt the two bolts, support the caliper and cover the rotor and other components with a plastic bag.
