Where to paint caliper in bay area?

Went to few body shops, and none of them want to paint them for me because they don\'t carry the special paint for caliper. I assume they need to be powder coat then??

Brake caliper paint is pretty easy to come by at any automotive specialty place. I've done it on a previous car, and as long as you have the means to jack up your car, it's pretty easy (and fun) to do yourself.

The wacky Australians from MightyCarMods have a bunch of videos of DIY car stuff. watch the one about painting the calipers in the first season.
