How about your finger and toe nails??? (Ha-Ha)

Then they too would match your calipers...

Nice touch!!!

Keep the paint, with spray on caliper paint, chances are you'll need to do a few touch-ups in the future.........

Yes it's possible to paint the valve covers....and red valve covers look totally awesome. I didn't think I would like them but I saw a picture and WOW.

Not sure if you have enough paint though. If you try it, you'll have to pull them off, clean them very well with a degreaser, sand them down, primer them and then apply your paint. You'll need a heat-resistant paint but I am assuming that caliper paint is heat-resistant.
