I can't comment on painting them, but I used DupliColor Caliper spray paint on mine about 10-11 years ago (about 70-75k miles) and they still look really good. If I recall correctly I put about 4 coats of paint, then the decals, then 2-3 coats of clear. They have held up much better and longer than I ever expected, the only problem area is some scuffs on the top of the calipers from careless rim swaps. If I could go back in time I would also avoid using harsh rim cleaner on them, I think it has dulled the finish a tiny bit, but not much.
