New calipers are standard silver. Whether to leave as is or paint black.

Black FTW

Even if you left them silver, they would eventually turn a dark grey colour. Just go buy some high temp spray paint specific for brakes or engines e.t.c.... I think you can get it from most reputable paint shops. Paint 'em and whack em on!

Easy when theyre off the car.
I'll pull them apart and spray them.
On the car, with spray paint gets you'll get a tad of overspray and missed bits. On the car i use a brush and do it by hand.
