Here's a cheap easy method.
 
1.Go to Pep Boys and buy their cheap brake caliper paint and a can of spray on brake cleaner.
2. Pull off a wheel.
3. Spray the crap out of the caliper with the cleaner, let dry.
4. Cover everything with newspaper and masking tape that could possibly get hit with overspray.
5. Spray with caliper paint.
Repeat as needed for other calipers.
Please don't paint your stock calipers red or another flashy color.

IMHO, red is for StopTechs/cross drilled rotors.
 
and other expensive aftermarket kits. Also, stock brakes look tiny under 17-18" wheels and red brings too much attention to them. I prefer subtle, functional mods.
