I'm not a big fan of powder coating anything, but it's definitely unnecessary for calipers.
consider G2 caliper paint.
it's a very popular product on cars far higher up the pay scale than ours:

I agree. I used VHT caliper paint. It's good for up to 900 degrees. No regrets. Just prep work is a PITA as it is with any painting.

very impressed with my G2. it has a little bit of orange peel but that might turn out differently on RS% calipers (mine are stock)

Local shop in Austin quoted me $65/caliper. This cost assumed I would break down the caliper prior to handing over. The cost really gets you when you consider that a caliper rebuild kit is recommended (seals / pistons) & personally I'd pay my shop to do the work @ $110/hr.
