Default Power Coating Calipers, etc

I am tearing my '89 LT250R apart this weekend for a complete re-work and color scheme change. I'm going with an orange frame and black plastic. My question is, what do I need to do in order to prepare the brake calipers for this process? Must the be torn down? or left as is?

Thanks!

keep in mind any part you want powdercoated has to be metal and will be cured at approx. 400 degrees. With that in mind rubber seals and brake fluid won't fair to well in those conditions.

also stays at that temp for 20-30 min. So if it has a possibility of warping (thin parts) be carefull
