Default caliper covers

so i think it would look really cool if i painted my brake calipers body color, but i dont have caliper covers to paint, anyone know where i can get some, possibly pre painted? and how would it affect my rim clearance, like would my wheels rub against the cover? here are pics of my car. i guess ill have to go out and see what the clearance is after it stops raining.

people don't use a cover, they just paint the caliper itself. its a special high temp paint that will survive the heat of the caliper. finding one that matches perfect may prove to be difficult.

Clean the calipers real well and paint them directly. It may be hard to find your car color though.
