I did my '98 F-150 calipers in red using high temp paint. I though it look good as you can see in the pics the others posted.
I went one step farther and painted the little Ford oval on the caliper Ford blue. Maybe that is a little to much but I liked it.
Did anyone actually remove the calipers to paint?
I just got a new '03 F-150 and plan on doing the calipers again.

The floating pins are easily removed and replaced.
I used brake cleaner and a toothbrush to clean, followed with VHT caliper paint. Too new to tell how well it lasts.
Be sure to plug the hole in the caliper prior to painting. I had fluid leak out and eat the paint around the hole (after the third coat &$^%).
