A true quick and dirty approach is to use high temp barbecue paint!

You really should remove the caliper to paint it - at least unbolt it from the car and leave the lines intact (and covered). Also, depending on their history, you may want to have the calipers rebuilt at the same time (which does require removal). This is not as big a deal as it might sound.

Good luck, they will look nicer...
