I think they look best just left as they are, just cleaned up a bit.

If you clean the brake dust off then attack them with some wet and dry paper and lots of soapy water, then they will come up a nice silver like theyve come out of the factory, but not too shiny...


 
Only paint them if you can do a good job - nothing looks more shabby than calipers painted with a brush, with drips and bits missed. Only the chavs do that. (Is 'chavs' the right word!?)

If you want to be super cool, get an old pair, mill a flat area on the casting and spray an Abarth scorpion on, then clear lacquer powder coat over the top. That would take time and skill though...

Here come da judge...
