    I'm sure you can buy them painted, expensive though. As for the camaro you use vinyl decals. If you need some hit me up I have a vinyl plotter.

      paint the calipers urself...it'll take a afternoon to do and its like 15 bucks...and yes the camaro u c on the caliper is a vinyl sticker thats like 10 bucks i think...so there 25 buck and u got ur calipers done...a lot cheaper than goin out and buyin some new ones

            I agree, paint them yourself. But its a lot easier when they are off the car. I did mine when I changed my rotors as well. I took off all 4 while I was changing the rotors. This made it easier to clean. Then put them back in, add brake fluid and bleed.

                        polished is the way to go, looks better IMO and will stay looking better longer b/c stuff doesn't stick to the smoother surface.
