I think it's highly dependent too on the colour of the car. For a colour like mine for example (Aluminum), I think red calipers look absolutely brilliant. I wouldn't consider painting them any other colour.

AB also looks good with red. A rich yellow would also look good. Blacks and whites probably have a few more options that would look really good. For reds you'd need to be a bit careful IMO. True Red with red calipers would look ok, but I think the metallic deeper red would be better with black or maybe yellow.

It is a personal preference, but I think there are also some fundamental colour matching and design elements that have to be considered to keep the balance of the car looking right

What are some of the important components that you have to tape up around the calipers?? Brake line.. Brake pads? Any screws or anything?

I would cover everything you don't intend to paint. It's also a good idea to tape up/cover the brake disc as you don't want to clog up the pads with paint when the disc rotates. Insulation tape or masking tape is easy to wrap around so just cover it all and peel off once done
