Paint Brake Calipers Opinion or Photoshop?

Okay, I was thinking about painting my calipers. I am going to be buying blizzaks soon, and I thought that while I'm there I will get spray paint or somehow paint that thing quickly. I am actually taking suggestions on how to paint the calipers, and what paint to buy and where to buy it as well.

I have a black car, and have the black/chrome look going on. Here's a picture of my wheels and car. I don't want to do red or yellow so don't suggest it. If someone could photoshop different colors, it would be great as well.

I was thinking about going with a blue color, but not sure what it would look like. What do you guys think? I don't know where to get it chrome painted, so no clue what that would look like, nor do I know how much it would cost. This is my only car.

Go with black. The OEM Calipers is so ugly it's not worth painting any colors except black to keep the cleaning easier.

i think most popular choice is black..can someone photoshop the black on there for me, so that least i can somewhat see what it looks like? If not, thats fine.

What's the best way to paint them? At the firestone (dunno if they will let me)
