I want to get them done at a shop, I checked ebay, they have caliper paints, but im not sure if their "silver" will come out to the silver I want... I love how the AMG kit's silver looks.... like this color...if anyone know of any GOOD paints, where I can get them.
As for C43, I love ur candyblue calipers, how much did u get them coated for?

I know that this has been discussed before, but have you thought about these?

Even with paint you will not get what you want. The AMG calipers are smooth, while the stock calipers are rough. You could sand the calipers to get rid of the roughness, then paint, yet that's going to be a lot of effort.
Price vs effort, buy the cheap silver caliper paint and save any other $$$ for AMG brakes.
