What to do with Calipers???

I just bought 18's for my car, and needed rear brakes. So, I upgraded from the OE equipment and purchased new brakes and rotors all the way around (Centric drilled and slotted with Posi Quiet Pads). I'm getting the rotors zinc dipped silver and the hubs on the rotors painted black. The only thing I have left is the calipers. They work perfectly, so I don't want to replace them. However, they are the plain Jane silver/grey. Thought about painting them, but also seen rotor covers. I want to make sure they still cool well, and don't take anything away from function. I was just going to buy caliper paint and go with black (had been suggestioned to me to go with a brighter color, but why do I want to highlight factory calipers?). What's everyone's thoughts?

black to hide cause they're small and ugly.
