That's my point, there's nothing impressive about these calipers aesthetically so I am befuddled at why one would want to highlight them, just to add additional maintenance and care. I guess I am one of the few who appreciate the black, unpainted finish of them from the factory. My last car has a huge 8 piston set up front and I quicky got tired of the upkeep.

The original multi spoke rims don’t have gaps that allows much visibility of the callipers anyway. I think painted gives too much of an after market look.
