They're NEVER going to rust enough to cause you a mechanical problem. Millions upon millions of cars coming from the factory have calipers that are not painted.

If you WANT to paint them, then by all means spend the time and money it takes. Talk yourself into all sorts of horrible tragic scenarios. Or if you WANT an excuse to paint them red or yellow like a Porsche or Ferrari, party on! But there's no "need"
