now we're @ $610 THEEEN i have a slight small bent rim..i didnt notice so i go to tha rim spot and get a wheel balance for $20 each tire($80) $690 Now pls keep up..after I pay he tells me oh yea u have a bent rim thats whuts causing ur slight wheel shaking.... 
"You couldnt say that b4 i payed yo ass $80...F it. theres only 1 place thats fixes bent rims arounf my way and i kno its $95 AND they keep it over nite i cant even wait there..so i have to ride around with that stupid small ass donut...so there goes $785 dollars in 1 day with a baby on the way...im screwed (i didnt get the rim fixed yet tho so -$95) ON a lighter note..rotors look waaay better accent the rims nicely BUT now those rusty dusty calipers need painting (hopefully silver or chrome) so i was juz wondering how any of u (if u did it) DID IT like did u use spray paint small paint brush etc. and whut kind of paint? Thanx for the help AND letting me vent ! u guys r the greatest lol

Clean the calipers as best you can. Otherwise the paint will just flake off. Use wire scrub brushes.
For paint, you can buy special caliper spray paint that comes in a bunch of colors. Any autoparts store will have it. You can also use BBQ Grill paint.
