Paint away I believe Suncoast Porsche, one of the listed sponsors carries the decals... just don't be cheap on the paint and prep the surface area properly, once it dries properly then center the decal as best you can, using the photo of the caliper prior to prepping it as your reference point...

The details...... 
At the shop the calipers are stripped down to the core, after which they are prepared for paint, we paint using a PPG product for paint, we then allow to cure, hard-bake and cure again. The decals are positioned and applied, after which we paint, using an industrial clear coat (sorry, I can't give out the info on out clear products) and again cured, hard-baked and are allowed to cure....
Work is completed in around a weeks time. . . Los Angeles area.... Monterey Park, CA
Oh, and one last thing, the decals for the Cayenne fronts are larger than those traditionally used on the Porsche calipers so we stock those sizes now. . . . I have a set that I'll be doing this week for the Cayenne so I'll try to pop off a couple of photos.

Shawn, I guess Eli's suggestion is that you pay him big bucks to do it for you.
You won't see your car for a week. Maybe you can take the bus?
