Paint them--- there are tons of heat resistant paints out there. I have had many of my cars caliper's painted. A good few layers of clear coat will protect them.

dude dont paint them yourself, unless your a professional... there powdercoated and if you do anything but powdercoating it will look cheap and cheap and cheap.

plus even if you powdercoat them, what about the logo... ?

youll either loose it or it wont look nearly as good after

just leave them

i had the calipers on my m5 powdercoated, it was an improvemt because the m5's calipers are just painted from the factory. powdercoating looks amazing and is the ONLY way to go, but it was expensive, (2800 dollars including new seals/labour)

id leave them
