As mentioned, its a very easy job. I'm sure someone would be willing to take your hard earned from you to do it, but it doesn't mean they would be any more qualified to do it.

Quick guide@

Buy tin of Hammerite from B & Q, Wickes etc
Buy paint brushes
Buy some white paint
Small foam roller

Clean calipers to remove any loose/rough debri. Use a wire brush.
Apply red paint. Let it dry.
Then use the foam roller with the white paint to go ver the raised Subaru logo.

For around 20 quid in materials, and an hour of your time, you can have a nice job done, with the satisfaction you did it yourself.

You won't need a lacquer with the Hammerite stuff. Its a high temp paint. You don't even need to primer with it. You can buy it as a spray or paint on.
