What's everyone getting quoted to professionally paint their calipers? My shop that did an amazing job on some other stuff quoted around $1000 to remove all 4, prep, paint, apply stickers, and a ton of clear coat, then of course reinstall. They showed me examples and it looked incredible, no "orange peel" effect.
