Getting brake calipers painted?

Was thinking of having the brake calipers on my car painted when it goes in next week for its first service, I was going to do either gloss white to match the body, or gloss red with the "range rover" decal in white. What do you all think

any one have any pictures of what Im talking about? Current:
2011 RRS SC Fuji White
2011 Merc S550 Diamond White (amg sport pkg)
2012 Merc CL63 AMG Blk

I'd go Red, certainly not white IMO, as they will never look clean due to the break dust. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring
GONE: Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - Stornaway Grey w/Black Interior (wish we'd kept it )
GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

Black or Red...

I agree with Bean... White would be a nightmare to keep looking nice...unless you switched to Kevlar pads RRS gone

Do you have to use special spray paint?
