Depends. Drums are easy. Just take your rear wheels off, send them a little, decrease the surface, tape it off and paint away. The calipers is pretty much the same thing, but you have a choice of taking them off the car to paint them better or just tape away and spray away. Taking them apart will most likely take more time but should look better. And black is a good choice.

I always take all mine off to paint. You can get a much more thorough, cleaner looking paint job on them. It's like 2 bolts and a hose fitting to take them off and that's it. Just make sure to hang your brake line up while it's off, so you don't lose your fluid. You can use Engine Enamel to paint them too, or Bar-B-Q paint.

don't forget to pump your brakes too when you put it all together.

ummm... you're FWD, buddy, extra power to the wheels would only throw your rear end forward if you're RWD...

From disassembly to finished bolted product you're probably looking at 2-2.5 hours MAX. Depends on how fast your paint dries.
