I took my rims off to do mine. Even though you're aplying with a brush, I wouldn't trust that I wouldn't get some on the rims. I need to take some pics tonight anyway, and I'll get a few of teh calipers while I'm at it.

I jacked up the front of the car and alternated painting one side and then the other. It gave enough time for each side to dry, while needing only a little break between coats
