Default Calipers and rotors

Hey guys, I just had my stock rims powder coated black. What a difference from the silver! Now my crappy looking calipers are messing up my flow ..

The guy I got my rims done said he can powdercoat them to along with my rotors to give a nice finished look all over.

I'm on a budget so spending thousands on a full upgrade is not the move for me. I also like to keep things stock and just add some minor details to make the car nicer to look at. Hence, powdercoating the stock rims ..

What should I do? What have you guys done?
Should I just go and buy a new set?
