I'm guessing here, as I'm not near any of my brake system books, but
unpainted calipers would seem to bleed off heat faster than painted
calipers (as long as they don't rust), but I'm not sure that is going to
make a difference in any fashion....big difference would be going from cast
iron to aluminum calipers, especially if you are able to use larger rotors
and calipers.
Doesn't 200 degrees seem low for estimated caliper temps?

Is there one color that would give off more heat like a thin coat of flat
black? To help dissipate heat?

But regarding temps. on the claipers themselves, they shouldn't get too
hot (unless there's a problem with the pistons sticking). I'm guessing
they stay under 200F except under the most harsh conditions.
