+1 Really easy to paint. OP I bet you can get a buddy or a shop to do it for real cheap. Probably cheaper than the plastic covers. Just make sure to use caliper paint as it puts up with the heat generated by the braking system. If you are too lazy to clean them off before painting, just spray some brake cleaner all over them and blow them out with an air gun after so they are completely dry. Really easy.

99.99% of the public will not notice your non-sport package brakes.

the moment you paint them or put silly covers on people will notice how tacky it is.

The only reason I would buy caliper covers would be to put them on someone else's car and then make fun of it.
