Polish them up and do it chrome. I did my 4 piston brakes gold to match my coilovers and kintsuna in which my theme is black and gold. Make sure your theme flows.

Here's red calipers on my GS:
Here's black calipers on the wifey's IS:
Either look will work depending on the color of your car, rims and the effect you are trying to achieve for your car. You've also heard other opinions saying if the brakes are stock, paint em black. Here's another vote for that.
Side Note: At the NorCal meet held last Sunday I handed out free Lexus stickers to new members that could be utilized for brake calipers.
Too bad you didn't attend.

wow those are shiny.
To me, that's one of those rare examples of wanting to keep the calipers clean of brake dust about as much as the wheels 
And as far as red or black, I'd vote black. Not only because that's what I'm in the process of doing now, but also, why would you want to draw attention to stock brakes??
