Painting Calipers (AZ)

Anyone in AZ have good results having their calipers painted? I like the look of the M5 Calipers, but looking to see if I can get something that looks just as good painted.

Good luck getting MSport blue paint.
My BMW dealer could not supply OEM blue paint (only black or red).
I thought I had an aftermarket solution but the blue -- Dupli-Color 2-part paint kit -- is quite different:

Maybe someone else has gotten a closer match.
