Thanks all for the compliments.
WoBoxster:
I used a Duplicolor Caliper Paint kit purchased from Autozone for $15. It came with the paint, mixing stick, paint brush, tape, and aerosol brake cleaner. It is really designed to be used with the calipers on the car. I wanted to clean the calipers thoroughly before painting so I removed them from the car for prep and paint. The calipers are held on with 2 bolts and are very easy to remove. You have to disconnect the brake line and remove the pads and hardware and you are ready to go. This also gave me a perfect opportunity to flush and replace the brake fluid.
jpcolin: My car is a standard 2000 Boxster. The rotors are Zimmerman purchased off of EBAY.
Perfectlap: I've seen some chrome lugs on EBAY and have thought about buying a set. I will probably pull the trigger at some point and see how they look. The problem with the painted black lugs is keeping the paint on while tightening. I have a soft socket (that I broke while torquing them yesterday) that helps, but doesn't totally prevent damaging the paint.
