^^^ If you take it off completely, you'll have to rebleed your brakes as well, so add the cost of fluid to that list.
The paint will fade no matter what type you buy or brand. I usually redo mine each spring.

Guys you're doing this the hard way. 
Get Folia Tec Caliper Lacquer, any performance shop worth it's salt has this stuff. It's about $40-60 for it, but you don't need to take anything off, just mask the bleed screws etc and get a wire bristle brush. You brush first then spray the cleaner (incl), once dried, you brush on paint, it hardens in 24hrs and it's glossy and durable like powedrcoating. 
No fading, chipping or re-doing every year or so. I've never had to recoat anything and I've done at least 6 sets of brakes . . . disc and drums.
VHT is ok for a quick fix, but spray is far less accurate and you will need to re-coat every year.
