Curious on this one myself. Owned a couple mustangs with painted calipers, but have yet to see them on a Jeep.

I did this when I did my brakes over the summer. Before I put the new pads in I just blasted them with rattle can hi temp paint I got at auto zone. It's subtle but only takes 20 minutes to do if your wheels are off. Go for it if you like how it looks.

I used the G2 paint kit on one of my cars. You end up using a brush and it goes on really nice. Haven't done my jeep since they're holding up well and my jeep is all black anyway.
