Having rebuilt 8 cars from the ground up, I would DIY. However, the calipers must be CLEAN, very clean, and you need the special high temp paint caliber paint. I have no idea how hard your calipers are to move off the disk break rotor, but I would do that WITHOUT disconnecting the brake line. Clean the caliper, cover the disk brake rotor and any areas that are not to be painted on the caliber. Carefully spray the caliber, allow to dry and reinstall, then repeat for the other wheels. I would do one wheel at a time.
Hope this helps.
