Sorry about my humor, but any place that advertises that their product "will reduce caliper heat build up" in writing on there product page, then goes on to say that *they* "have tested it with a temp sensor gun" would not get my business 
But i suppose those fake painted on rivets just suck the heat off the calipers by induced conduction or some other magical process.

Give the OP a break!!!
On a forum that has 92 pages of posts, in just one thread, dedicated to Plasti-Dip painted on trucks, how anyone can criticize the OP is beyond me.
Here, this thread should keep the busybody critics busy for a month.

Stupid question... but for someone who just wants to cut down on brake dust on the wheels, are there any cheap, metallic colored covers that will just blend in and not be too noticeable?

Wheel Spacers
If all you caliper cover installers read the instructions it mentions that some 3mm spacers might be needed and are sold on the website.

Not insulted, confounded. You say, "don't be insulted by my opinion," but in the same breath you say, "most people... are gonna think it's cheesy." I didn't realize your opinion held the weight of most people.
And no, I did not miss your point. I'm simply offering an exaggerated counterpoint to make mine. And here's another:
Don't be insulted by my opinion. I think Seattle is a terrible place to live, but to each their own. If you look at population studies in this forum, you'll find that most people think Seattle sucks.

That's mean. There are some pretty nice appearance mods out there, I think these could be adapted to match the caliper covers easily. I've heard they improve aerodynamics to help gas mileage.

Love Turbo V6 & Coyote V8
First thing is this.. Its your truck and you do what you want to do. As long as you like em that is what matters.
Now for my opinion since you asked. To me they make a nice truck look cheap. I don't care if they were 20bucks or 200 its looks like poop to me. I would rather paint the caliper as IMO it looks more professional (as long as the painting is done neatly and not just a messy coat of paint) and just plains looks better then these covers.

I'm sure they will work good to keep a lot of it from escaping. Nothing better then gummed up caliper pistons from dust build up, or the inability to wash them off cause there covered up. I will pass on em and let that nasty stuff not build up on a critical part of my vehicle under some covers
