^thanks, but i really want to get it professionally done. They are 6 pot calipers with laser itching on them. calipers come in anodized black already so i think i need to remove that layer first.. just a headache haha.
Want to find a good shop that knows what they are doing~

does it have rubber seals?
you will need to take the caliper apart first
sandblast it & somehow not let the sands touch the cylinder wall
then powder coat it
& bake it
& if its fucked up
u need to buy a new set

It's a pain in the ass to powdercoat calipers because you have to disassemble them first.
I would go to a reputable performance shop and see if you can have them do it - it's going to be pricey though.

what a pain in the ass D:
yes it does have rubber seals, and yes I will need to take it apart.. oh man. Maybe i'll ask a shop to take the calipers apart, get them painted and tell them to put it back again ==''' sucks not having the proper tools at home.
