i thought about DIY, but reality is, i suck at painting. and i hate doing anything that involves paint or anything that i can't possibly undo or have a chance of ruining.

Most of the caliper paint kits are brush on. If you take your time, you can't really screw it up.

Search for some DIY threads and you'll see just how easy it can be.
