If you want the whole factory paint look, it will cost you a shiny penny.
need to remove all 4 calipers, paint with high temp paint, and reinstall, refill brake fluid. This is the only way to make it 100% factory looking.
its approx $800 of material and labour right there.
or just spend $50 and brush on high temp paint on it yourself.

When I took my car to MFRT to get something done, they had a customer who had a XC90 with some sort of sport package made by Heico. (which i never heard of before, and apparently they are a volvo tuner)
The guy at MF was just finished painting the Heico brake calipers on that XC90 when I walked in.
You can try them?

Who would pay that much for painted calipers? Not that hard to remove calipers, take them off and take them down to a shop and get them sprayed.

in my case, i had a total of 12 pistons and seals to re/re, which was expensive because of the stupid porsche markups on the rebuild kit

If you do take off brakes, make sure you know what you're doing.
That's the one thing in a car you don't want to install back on improperly.

It was NEW too, still had the new car smell. Apparently it was also a demo car so the owner got it for CHEAP.
The shop's name is MFRT, on Marine Dr and Laurel in Vancouver, where that Mcd is.
