Default red brake calipers?

Just a question for you guys, I've had my car for 4 years now and I'm looking at touching/re-doing some things on the car.
I painted my calipers red shortly aftre i bought the car and now it's chipping and faded. Should i re-do it and leave them red, or just strip it all off and go back to the way they were?

If you really want them colored, have them powdercoated.

so does power coating the calipers or using engine temp paint on them reduce their ability to dissipate heat?
