Default Brake Calipers

I'm a big fan of the brembo brake caliper look, but not a big fan of the price. I do not know a lot about brakes, but look forward to a DIY project. Can I but red brake calipers only and use those on my existing brake hardware? I just want the red brake look, brand doesnt matter. Any good sites to buy red brake calipers that will match existing hardware on sequoia? thanks in advance

Have you thought about just using brake caliper paint? I've not seen (though not looked specifically for) OEM type calipers that are colored.

I have looked into doing it myself, but afraid of the final product. I do not want it to look like some little honda kid did it. I have seen it where the paint fades or flakes off a bit. If worse comes to worse I could paint it, but would like to find well done red.

You can purchase specific caliper enamel from a local parts shop. It comes in a "shake-n-shoot" can, so you can't screw it up.
