there are caliper paint kits you can buy from an auto store (like pepboys, autozone, etc if you are in the usa).
personally, i'd let a shop paint or powdercoat the calipers.

paint?
Get a garage to do it, and powder coating will be the best option, i too have had my calipers cloured in black, not that noticable, but red or blue was better, may consider doing it again in red i think, it looks good through the wheel, 20s
