you just give them a wizz over with a wire sander and then give em a clean with thinners and then use a high temp paint of your colour choice.
You dont need to paint around the pistons as the brake pads will sit over them anyway.

I got hold of some 4 pots for my old car and did this and they looked great in Red.
