Ok, so I just put a really sweet set of 18's on my Acura... I want to paint the calipers.
Ok.... let the anti-rice comments start here Anyway... I found some kits to do it on e-bay for $18, plus like $12 for shipping. Advance auto parts has the same kit for $15. Question: Has anyone used it? Does it work? Tips to get it to look good? BTW.. I know you folks like pics.. here ya go: Attached image(s)

I used caliper paint from PepBoys... cheap, you may have to reapply, but cheap... and looks good! I either say go cheap and plan on rerapplying every 1-2 years(if you are lucky... or get them powdercoated by a pro place...
