Not an expert on that matter mate but I think you cant flip the fronst to the back.
Some one on here will give you more detailed info on the matter

the front calipers have just the piston to apply the pads to the discs, and on the rear is the same sort of design but are alot smaller and also have the hand brake mechanism built in

And if it helps, there's no need to remove the calipers to paint them - just remove the wheel and get the car up on axle stands, should give you plenty of access.
