I'll have a full set of C5s and C4 HDs/PBr rears done in gloss black in about a week and I'll post pics of them then.

Have my C4HD's done in primer black. I like the look. Clean, yet stock-appearing (if you don't know these cars come with such small factory brakes of course).

Black, silver, or polished aluminum is the only color I would run on my car. I purchased a Dupli Color Caliper painting kit at my local auto store and have been pretty happy with it. The best coating would be to have the calipers powder coated but that’s pretty pricy unless you have the equipment to do it yourself.

If someone sends me already prepred calipers I can do em for $25-40 each depending on color.
Non preped I charge a little more.

I'll see if I can snap some pics of my Grand Sport calipers. I used Duplicolor engine enamel gloss black on the rear LS1s to match the GS calipers (factory black).

What is considered prepared? Cleaned, pistons removed, and all rubber seals removed?
