I think painting them black at least is better than the stock metal look.

The sorta matted silver color of the unpainted caliper blends in with the rotor's color.

Painting it any other color accentuates the fact that its base brake calipers, that they don't "look cool", not bling enough, that the car is not a sports pkg car.

To me, that just further reminds the owner of the eye sore that prompted the idea of covering up the caliper in the first place.

Skinny dude wearing a muscle shirt, just makes him look skinnier, not more muscular.

My opinion.
