You can use a brush paint kit or a spray pint kit. Most kits say you don't need to remove the calliper, but it's much better if you do, to avoid any contamination of braking surfaces. The majority of professionals would spray, as it provides a better finish most often, however, if you are good with a brush, and you take your time, you can do a good job. When spraying, try and hang the calliper up if you can, it will make your life much easier and provide a better finish.

Astra just failed test -Wheel on drivers side didnt hold when using handbrake but ok if using foot pedal- why would this be?
Handbrake and foot brake use different callipers - the handbrake only works on 1 set of wheels (front or rear) whereas the foot brake uses separate callipers on all 4 wheels. In your case, I would guess the handbrake calliper on the affected wheel has failed. Other, foot brake callipers and disks obviously working OK.
