make sure you mask out everything else after taking off the wheel, you are good to go

The hotter....the better....that means it will dry alot faster.
As for being lazy....thats probably 90% of everyone here...LOL!!!
Hmmmmm....taking off tire....well I hope so.
Instead of newspaper....try using an old t-shirt.....put calipers thru where your head opening...covering the rotors and top hat....maybe use a car cover the protect the fender panel.

Might as well do it right and remove everything. Its really not that bad. Although I went ahead and did mine when I was installing my rotors. Looks much better, especially when someone wants to zoom in close.

i already did them, but didn't take out the pads... i'm guessing I'll have trouble changing brake pads later on?

again it doesn't mean everything is damaged, but if i were you i woudl take everything apart (the clips, the pads, etc...) to make sure they are good
