        The original colour is black and due to the small size of the oem calipers I would stick to that

                    I like the bronze look of brand new for OEM calipers, bit like the "silver/gold" mix in the thread link.

                            looks like you have a few spare.

                            Could offer an exchange service

                              I cleaned my calipers with sugar soap and then painted them with a mix of silver and gold Hammerite which takes the brightness off silver and mutes the colour of gold. I didn't want to make them a feature, just look less obtrusive than they did when they were black and covered in filth. I did the job about 5years ago and the Hammerite has worn well.
