Default Painting calipers

I want to powdercoat my brake calipers red but will need to disassemble them to heat them to 400F. I could not find any new seal kits for them only whole replacement calipers. Does anyone know where I can get seal kits? I already have everything I need to coat them, just want a seal kit.

On my previous car (Acura RSX Type-S), I took the calipers apart twice to have them powder coated and just reused all of the seals. Once I got everything apart I cleaned them up really well and re-greased everything according to the manual specs, never had a single problem.
