1. To fit springs:

Jack up car, drop strut assembly out.

Take top off strut, remove spring, put new spring in, re-assemble.

Put strut back in car, repeat for other corners.

You may or may not need a spring compressor. In my experience I haven't needed one, but others say that they do. Keep it in mind before you start.

2. Do you mean paint the calipers? Coz if you paint the rotors the brake pads will just grind the paint straight off :) If you want to paint the calipers, do a search. Someone has already done it and they've got a brief step by step.

3. Toe should be 0 degrees front, and 0 or 1 degree in rear depending on how you want the car to drive. Keep in mind that bad toe alignment is the worst thing for tyre wear, moreso than bad camber. But I'm not sure if 1 degree is going to make a noticable difference to tyre wear or not.
