If you do a search, there's some guys who have done their calipers themselves with some nice results.

I repainted mine on Labor Day last year. They still look good. I used high temp engine enamel and Brembo stencils. If yours are just faded and you want to go back to the red original color, you might find that wet sanding them and just putting a new coat of clear will make them shine like new.

Brembos

Check out the "how to paint brembos" in the How To section. They show the step by step process and it looks great!
