I think you can get your calipers powder coated for around $200-$250. You car will be out of commission while they are being done, and you will have to bleed your brakes.
Or you can buy them already done, for around $700.00 (approx $500 for the calipers, and approx $200 for the caliper brackets) You still have to bleed your brakes, but it would be a one day swap.
Or you can paint them yourself, one at a time. A little laborious, but only costs $25.00 and they look great.

Not a great picture, but I had my new C6 Z06 calipers powder coated 3 years ago. I didn't want the Corvette logo on them, so we took them apart and I had them re-done. This is the fourth set I've had done for various cars and the powder coating has held up very well on all my cars, including my daily drivers. I think I paid about $200 to have mine done if memory serves me correct.

Got mine back Friday 3/14/14..I couldn't be happier. Great quality work.. was going to paint them myself but went against it and had them Professionally done.. They look awesome. To each their own.
