One would go to the garage, remove the wheels, remove the calipers, prep with cleaner, block off with tape and paper, and apply paint.
I seriously doubt that anyone here has paid someone to do their calipers. I know for sure that I didn't.

What color for silver, grey, or tungsten would y'all recommend. I'm thinking Gold but I don't want it looking Ghetto. Maybe, black.

Gold = ghetto.

Gold might not be to ghetto provided it is not a bright shiney fake looking gold. If it were more of the washed out anodized look, I could live with that. But I doubt you are going to get that in a can.

"Mustang" or "GT" or a pony or something could probably be stenciled on the calipers. I would rather try that than just buy replacement calipers (unless I was upgrading the whole brake system anyway).
