Default No you don't
Use newspaper well cover up your diskes before spray. Don't forget to put another piece between your disk and the brake pads.(Handbrake off)

Default I used G2 Caliper Paint
from Tirerack. This was a brush on system that required very little masking if any at all. G2 is a 2 stage paint so it dries smooth and glossy like a OEM Porsche caliper. I highly recommend it.
