If you'd like to do this yourself, suggest you use "Dupli-Color Caliper Paint with Ceramic" which is available in various colors from AutoZone, Pep Boys, etc.

I've used this in silver (#BCP103) for several cars and it works great -- high temp and non-peeling. Clean the calipers well before painting. (It also is an excellent match for touching up curb rash on stock wheels after filling the rash with "Devcon Metal Patch and Repair.")

You can see a glimpse of painted calipers in the attached photo of my SL500 wheels.

Mine painted red

Any body shop is able to help you getting your calipers done the way/color you like. Mine was done by a local shop in Massachusetts over the summer.
Mine are AMG 8/4 upgrade set.
