It all comes down to personal preference. Whether it looks stock or not is less of a big deal I suppose. I am going for the understated look. I bought the dupi-color paint on kit in silver. I originally bought it to paint my rotor hats as they'll all rusted over and look like hell. As long as the wheel is off and the paint brush is off, I'm going to hit the caliper too. And I ordered some Lexus stickers on Amazon to pop on after. It probably won't look as clean as the pic above, but it should look better than it currently does.

And can't beat the $5 price per can to do multiple sets of calipers. I'm on the original can and this is my 2nd LS that I have done. wrap a plastic bag around the rotors and spray. Easy..or you can use a carboard piece to shield overspray
