Look for a local powder coater in your area. There should be a few.

Thirdly, it looks as though they were coated with the pistons/dustboots installed. Do they have any idea what kind of liability that is now that your brakes may fail on you? Just because it looks pretty does not mean it was a good job. If you'd like I will call them to explain how badly they messed up and to fix it before you end up losing your brakes and get into an accident.
That coating is a ceramic coating and it is there for a reason...to help keep the heat transfer down from the rotors. The calipers should be stripped, not blasted...that is if the car is to be driven like is was meant to be.

^^^This is exactly what Im going for flat black evo with flat black wheels and hoping that if I go with white calipers they really pop against the car. New pads arrived today and painting this week sometime more than likely. If someone doesnt post pics I will definitely post how mine turn out.

I did mine the other day all myself. I powder coated them transparent candy red after a good media blast. Also added hawk hps pads, power slot rotors, goodridge brake lines, and ate super blue. I am going to do the rears next week. I like how they came out!

EDIT: Just noticed you're in california, so I guess I will be helping online! lol
