It's pretty easy:

1. Use brake cleaner and a scrub brush to get the calipers VERY clean.
2. Mask off anything you don't want to paint with tape and newspaper.
3. Spray with brake caliper paint, starting with light coats and going to slightly heavier coats.
4. Let everything dry completely and reassemble.

I used 2 cans of paint to do all 4 calipers.

you can buy a roll of 5 meter LED strips for $10 on eBay. I can get anybody a link if they specify what color they want
