I went black just on the calipers and left some of the factory silver,they don't grab your attention but add nice detail.
If your going silver stripes this might look good?

Painting stock calipers just draws attention to the fact that they are...stock calipers. Don't paint 'em.

Isn't a paint job adding a reflective surface to repel heat generated in pad/disc friction from leaving the calipers? If you are wondering about heat dissipation, my physics memory tells me black, of the flat or matte variety, would allow more heat radiation to air.
Of course unless you are a road racer or autoxer, there isn't much preoccupation with heat, and even if you are interested, color isn't much of a concern.
For the record, I did eleven ~75-second autocross runs at about ten-minute intervals. After the fifth run, the brakes faded severely on the fourth turn, third of a series of 60-to-20 MPH braking efforts. They smelled hot and took a couple of pumps to do any speed-retarding work from then on, and in each subsequent run. From that day forward the "shiny silver" calipers have been flat gray. Looks OK to me.
Anyone have experience with ducting air to calipers?
