In my opinion, you should keep what was delivered, and ask the dealer to make it right in other ways (credit at the parts counter, free car washes for life, etc).

1) If they swap for OEM red calipers, they still have to break the hydraulic system and re-bleed, which is no small task with modern "brake by wire" systems.

2) If they remove and repaint, same concern as above, and any paint system they use will surely be different than what the brake caliper manufacturer is using (which is undoubtedly a specially-developed paint for brake applications to withstand high temp)

My personal philosophy is generally never to let the dealer touch the car. Ever.
Especially when you're talking about safety-critical parts like brakes.
