I thought the one from Autobarn had it pretty close to the Spoon colour. Why not DIY? It's extremely easy unless you want to take them and cover every single part of the caliper. :)

Take the wheel off...

take two 12? mil bolts off, put a rag over the hub and disk. let the caliper dangle.

From here apply paint, and reinstall. Use some greese on the long bolts to help them slide back in.

Piss easy!

Was going to do the whole, take the caliper off and paint - but the whole consensus seems to be best to use newspaper around the caliper and diy it.
Didn't check autobarn for the spoon colour. Will have a good look!

Thanks!

No, it'd help it dry quicker.

Sounds good, will do it today then.

Thought the humidity might stuff up the paint.

39 degrees here in Melb

The paint generally dries pretty quickly anyway. (i.e. Won't run but will still smudge if you touch it) Can do it sticking out of your garage if you really want. The only downside I can see of doing it on such a hot day such as today is that you'll get exhausted too fast. :D
