Tire rack carries some good caliper paint that won't turn orange.

But yeah, not too sure I'd highlight the fact that I have small calipers. You could awlays take a brass wheel to the calipers and get rid of the current paint. Then paint them a silver color to look like OEM. But it is your car.

Yeah, go black or stock-looking silver IMO... but as Todd says, it's your car!

The orange is probably due to rust.
