To do it the right way.
Spraying [or brushing] it on through your wheels will cover most of the caliper.
It might even stay on for a while.

But I guarantee NO caliper paint, hi temp or not, is as durable as Por15.
My calipers are 100% covered. And it takes several days to cure to full hardness.
My car happens to be my toy. I also have a truck.
And on my car I don't halfass anything. So they sat for a while [I was doing other stuff too] before they were reassembled and put on the car.

It can be installed in a day, it just takes several to harden completely.

Oh, and it doesn't so much take heat to harden it [though it might speed it up a bit], it actually takes moisture in the air to harden.

Manny [Presure2] knows about this stuff.
I have it on my complete rear subframe, rear diff, ect.
This year or next the entire underside of my car will be getting it.
It's expensive though.
$100 gal roughly.
