I would not plastii dip a caliper. The stuff is only solid to like 300deg f. I'd be more inclined to buy caliper paint which can tolerate much higher heat. I know there are people out there doing it with some degree of success, but IMHO not worth it. Much like using a trash bag as a parachute may deliver some success. I would suspect with the amount of brake cooling kits I see people dabbing for the 370 that the brakes get warmer than the average Kia. But I'm sure all the plastic dip lovers will come in and flame away.
As far as painting or plastidip you can paint with just wheel off but results won't look as good a full removal. Judgement call but to me when I see a sloppily painted caliper that has cheater lines all over it I laugh and think how the "mod" made the car worse.
