Want to paint brakes on 2020 GLE

I want to paint the brakes red on my 2020 GLE with 21" Amg rims but it appears that the back brakes don't have like a brake caliper cover (for lack of a better term?) See first pic, The front brakes are different looking and say Mercedes on them (see second pic). Should I get it painted as is or do I need to get a caliper cover or something for it? I seen some caliper covers can come painted is that a better or worse option?

The shop who services my lambo painted my brakes green for a really good price and I was thinking about having them paint the GLE brakes and my wife's amg slk. Pics attached

I bought a can of high temp clear coat today and will give the front and rear calipers a dusting with that rather than painting them. Just want them to look decent rather than ratty.

The "Mercedes plate" on the front calipers looks as if if it's easy enough to remove, so I'll do so, then apply the clear coat, then re-attach the plate.
