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.
