It's pretty easy to do, just make sure you really clean it good and good prep. Tape up what you don't want any paint on.
Best you do it on a really hot day. Give 15-20 dry time between sprays. I used the paint and also used high temp clear coat. Doesn't look cheesy what so ever no does it look rice to those that are purist out there.

Since not everyone has 2k + for a BBK, painting your calipers is not a bad idea especially when your rotors start to weather. I am using the black POR-15 caliper paint kit, cost $39 and comes with everything you need. If you have never used or heard of POR-15, they make some pretty sweet stuff.

Question, can I use my touch up paint for the calipers, then cover it with a high temp clear coat?
2nd Part: Since the touch up paint is in a TINY tube, can it be easily color matched (MATADOR RED MICA)
