I took my car to the shop and the did paint it for me !!
they did use paper to cover the rotors and fenders !!
they charged me $25 for all 4 calipers
i did paint them last year and they still looking fresh !
i suggest you to change you brake pads because the dust will mess them up !!
swap them with ceramic pads

Looks like a great setup, got 9k miles on my 350Fsport and will probably change rotors and pads when I replace the tires around 15k miles.

you can paint them in your garage !!
its not that hard to do them !!
or try to take it to the nearest repair shop and make them paint for you !!
GOOD LUCK

This should be a fairly easy DIY task. I know many who've used the G2 caliper paint kit or Duplicolor Caliper/Engine Paint (Hi temp) with great success. You can either remove the caliper or take your time by masking off the appropriate pieces.
Either way, should look awesome! Can't go wrong with the color combo. Good luck!
