Hey mugsy...if you do it get it powdercoated. A bit more expensive but it will last longer than paint. If you DIY it then make sure the calipers are prepped clean completely. I'm no DIY so I paid to have them powdercoated.

I say either red or silver. I myself will paint mine red and put the amg stickers on. My denali has Baer brakes on 24's and the caliper is red so I wanna match it.

you can use Engine block or Exhaust (hi-Heat) spray paint. Just Clean the caliper really well. I use brake cleaner first and a wire brush. brake cleaner will still have some oil film residue. Then use windex to get all the oil off. Let it dry and paint away.
