Where did you get the paint? I was thinking red against EB would look good, then I had a look on ECP and they have 2 very similar blues that might be a match for EB (https://www.eurocarparts.com/caliper-paint) but if they don't quite match then it will look a bit jarring like someone has not matched the paint correctly, so it might look better with a contrast rather than a paint that is a couple of shades out.

I used caliper paint from Amazon - One tin for under a tenner did 4 coats on each caliper with plenty left over.

They look way better Did you paint them in situ or remove them

It situ, just my preference. Taped them up but once the first coat went on it was easy. As you say, it's a huge improvement.
