take the break pads out, bring it to home depot paint section, dunk it some silver or chrome paint and reinstall the pads. everytime you brake, there'll be a glitter trail that comes out of your wheels.

Take calipers off. Clean really good. High heat paint.

There are kits avaliable to paint calipers... But the purpose of putting primer is so the paint sticks better. I'd say since this is a minor thing, get a caliper painting kit. It's really cheap.
