Default brake caliper paint

whats the best way to paint/powder coat brake caliper? I'm not familiar with the process nor do I have the time to learn it but I'm willing to pay a shiny penny if i can get it done... I have a 250 fsport are there shops that's able to do this for me? in houston?

Plenty shops will do the job. It isn't a very hard one at that. May I recommend a new/trendy alternative? Vinyl wrapping...

Looks pretty sweet at night and able to withstand insane temperatures and can always be peeled off to restore factory look.

I was thinking the same and ordered the G2 brake caliper paint to do the job. There are plenty of DIY on youtube. By the way, I'm in Houston too. Will post the pics when it's done.
