Don't know if there is a "best" place.
But this is where I got mine,
comes with 2 front and 2 rear for $11.25 shipped.

Make sure you get the IS300 ones not IS350

Bought it off someone in the classifieds section
Took me like a year to finally snag one!!!
I paid $150 for mine, it's 100% flawless, no chips, no broken tabs, perfect!!
Then a month later saw someone selling one for $90
But I'm sure someone bought it in an hour or less..

I just got my paint from pepboys, they have special high temperature spray paint that is made for engine blocks I used that.
Also they have spray paint just for calipers, I have that too.
Be sure you get some high temp clear coat too.
Protects the paint a little & makes it easier to clean.
I didn't have a problem with spray paint but the brush on paint seems like it might be less messy.

Calipers looks okay....I personally would have sanded down and painted on a smooth surface. Nice work on your wipers and the surround though. I did that a couple months ago but also touched up my rubber trim along the bottom of the windows and the black around the door mirrors.
Nice pick up on the SD grille, I was very pleased with mine.
