Before I start this summery I would like to thanks all memeber who gave pieces of information in "caliper painting". Now I would like to make a full summary of "caliper painting" DIY.
I hope this will be usefull for new users.

thank for the member who supplyed the rotor picture so I can modify for this DIY

Item needed:

1. wheel wrengch @ 108N.m (1 [N] =1 [Kg] * 9.8 [m/s^2])
2. engine enamel (duplicolor) with heat resistance of 500F. 1200F if you want, but 500F will do.
3. thin brush from 1 dollar store
4.newspapers
5.masking tape

instruction:

1. release wheel nut, but let them stay on bolt
2. jake up the car
3. release the wheel
4. if you are painting the left caleper, rotate the steering wheel clockwise (this will need car started up and obviously not press the gas since the car is jacked up). This will expose the whole caliper profile.
5.mask the whole area of the fender near.
6.mask the area behind the wheel disk
6.put a little strip of paper between brake pad and disc (important, no paint should go betweeen pad and disc)
7.cover the whole brake disc
8.see pic for detail which need to be covered. Area circled in red shall be covered, the blue line represents the little stip of paper which sahll cover the area BETWEEN caliper and disk
9.once they are all covered, paint it.
10. for little unpainted small area, spray paint on brush, then paint the area with brush.

Here's a pic of what it will look after painting.

Instead of sparying directly on the caliper, I sprayed the paint into a bowl, and used a brush to paint it on.

Here's a picture of the paint I used:
