Do a web search for images on the NC35. They use a similar looking upside-down fork with black Nissin calipers. In fact, a typical breaking mod for NC35 owners is to swap the calilpers of the RC51. It's a direct swap!

It could probably be done with any wheel paint from the auto parts store. Just don't use the brush on caliper stuff as it is more likely to look bad. You could mask the letters or paint over and sand them. I would mask them though. I got black ones because I hate gold, but they look a little faded, and I still have to get a rear caliper.

Here is a pic of mine with the flat black f4 calipers:
