Disassembly of rear brake calipers

Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on disassembly, cleaning, and painting the rear calipers? They don't seem as straightforward as the fronts.

How far are you disassembling? It should be 2 caliper bolts and 2 bracket bolts. Pulling the caliper apart with the parking brake, can be a challenge though.

Just trying to find the best way to clean and paint it. Looks like brake-clean will be out of the question.

I'll end up doing that. My experience with the coating on the front brakes was I could only get it off with brake clean. Rear ones look too be a bit easier to clean up.
