I recommend the paint route, it doesn't look cheesy, leaves all clearances as OE intended (no interference from covers causing certain wheels to have fitment issues), and is easy to maintain.

My general steps when doing it are:

  1. Jack up vehicle on one corner
  2. Remove wheel
  3. tape off/cover surrounding body panels to the wheel well
  4. tape off/cover inside of wheel well/non caliper parts
  5. tape off/cover parts of the brake that should not be painted (ie. banjo fittings)
  6. clean/degrease the caliper with break cleaner or similar
  7. Start with a light mist coat of caliper paint(kit, single can, etc) such as:
    kit
    single can
    single can again- This is what I always use

  8. Give mist coat slight time to dry, then do a more full coat.
  9. Repeat extra coats as necessary
  10. Remove masking (do not let paint dry before doing so or you may peel up paint), be careful not to touch wet paint and ruin your job, make sure to remove all masking from the area
  11. Remount wheel on whatever location you were working
  12. Move to next wheel/corner of vehicle

    Also some people like to paint the rotor hats to match, I personally think they look weird except in black, but its your car so do what you want to do.
