Price to have calipers painted PROFESSIONALLY

How much should it cost to have my calipers painted and sealed? When I picking up my car at UltimateAuto (FL) I asked and was told it would cost $700. This price seems pretty high considering it's not that hard of a job...

He said that it would cost so much because they needed to remove each caliper for prep, paint, and clear coat.

Anyone any Central FL (Orlando area) know of a good shop to get this done?

I am not in Orlando but I had mine professionally done. They do not need to be removed, just the tires/wheels. People say that to try to make money off of you because you drive a BMW, and they assume you don't know. My process was 6hrs (drying time) 3 coats, and 2 coats of clear. I paid $120, because I had some other work done, reg price was $240 and came with a lifetime warranty.

I can get you some closer pictures if needed, Its very metallic and glossy, and going on about 3 months of hard driving.
