You can do them yourself. We used brake cleaner to clean them and get any rust off first and then just used engine enamel to paint ours. It was pretty easy to do, we went ahead and did the rotor hubs on our cars too since they rust all the time and look awful.

i just wiped off most the dirt, removed the calipers, took off the rotors, took the pads out and stuffed newspaper in them and then put them back on the car
then i used rustolem paint on the calipers looks GREAT, ive used engine brake caliper paint before and it just flaked off, this rustoleum stuff clings on for dear life. ive had it on there for 5 months now, made about 50 passes down the strip with it too.
