Powder Coating Calipers?? What does everyone think? Is it worth it? Can anyone that has done this offer some words of wisdom?? What color with NBM paint?
Should I just polish them?

I think it looks sweet! What I would suggest if you are going for a low key look on your NBM WS6, I would powdercoat the caliper NBM and polish the brake pad bracket. Then put chrome decals on the caliper that say Trans Am or WS.6 or something like that. Nice detail, not goddy, but would look very nice!
You really cant polish the caliper bracket since it is steel (well you can but then you must clear it or it will rust)
I would polish the calipers smooth (remove the castings) then have them powdered in NBM. I would grind the brackets smooth as well and have them powdered in either silver, near chrome or charcoal grey metallic
I did this (the polish and then powder) to my back brakes and they looked beautiful.. really makes a difference in the finished product.

You are right about the polishing of the bracket...that is not what I meant. If you want to do the chrome Trans Am on the caliper, then you can get the bracket chromed pretty cheap I assume...just another though. This would look really good if you have chrome rims.
