I have a Monterrey Red car and painted the calipers the same color. I would think that yours would look great painting the same color of your car. I did paint the brackets black however as a contrast to the red calipers. The calipers were removed, cleaned really really well and then 3 coats of high temp paint followed by a clear coat. It took several hours and I had Auto XTC do it. The total price was in the 300's including labor. I would highly suggest removing your calipers for better application of the paint, especially with multiple coats. Almost 18 months now and still looks new.
PS: The corvette lettering on the front calipers can be enhanced by using a razor blade after the paint dries.
