This is also why your coolant rad. is black.
Dark red is almost as good, white is poor and chrome is the worst.
Still your decision though.

Boiling fluid aside, matte black would be pretty ugly, I would rather leave them stock. If one is on the track and fluid is going to boil I don't think it will matter what color the calipers are especially if the rotors are glowing red. On the street, color and heat dissipation may have a very slight effect if towing a trailer in the mountains.
