Powdercoat shops can hardly be found here in UAE. I recall 3 in dubai.
I talked to some friends here and there and they said painting will last very very long + They dont recall anyone with painted calipers that came back unsatisfied for at least 1.5-2 years.
I'll go for painting + WALD sticker logo as he mentioned over the phone.
In case of paint issues in 3-4 months i will paint them black and get rid of the headache and repainting.
Worth a try i guess.

Thinking of the WALD logo as a chrome vinyl cut decal.
Thanks for the input guys. I will paint it in the next few days.
Can someone help me get the color code of candy rubby red ?
Thanx in advance

Painted Calipers + Painted LOGO **** No sticker...
All credits go to CL member
He gave me the WALD logo file which i took to the vinyl shop and printed the logo.
**************************
Paint inside the letters which is best ofcourse.
Paint Caliper + Paint inside the letters
The one i will use is in the 2nd picture
Picture shows all logos in 1 vinyl sheet, they were later cut into individuals
The structure of each one consists of 3 pieces:
The top plastic cover ( Sticks from the bottom only )
Rectanglular Frame* centre letters WALD ( Sticks top & bottom )
The bottom plastic cover ( Sticks from the Top only )
Process After painting the caliper red or any desired color and waiting sometime for the paint to dry:
1.Remove the bottom plastic cover and stick Rectanglular frame with the top plastic cover onto the painted caliper.
2.Gently remove the top plastic cover.
3.With the help of the rectangular frame newspaper or any covering material may be used on the frame covering the whole caliper to ensure and prevent the white letter paint not being mixed with the red painted caliper.
4.Remove the Rectangular frame.
Process is easy, All you need is 4 pieces.I printed 9 of em just in case the process has to be repeated

IF henry can have his caliper painted and standing for 6 years we can do it also 
.
Im worried about the overlay white paint on the red paint
Im afraid the white WALD logo paint wont stick properly over the red...
maybe after the whol caliper is painted red and with the help of the rectangular frame the WALD letters should be scratched. In other words the red paint should be removed from that area and then paint the letters white..
It all depends on who paints the caliper
