Beat me to it! You know who and what color I was going to recommend when I saw this thread 
Mike charges about $350 plus shipping. Shipping for me (from MD to him) cost about $30. Shoot him an email, he does great work, as you can see from FederalG's setup. His website: thepowdercoater.com
$1800 is about right, but you also need the bracket for the G35. Another $200-250 for that hardware (at least that how much it was when I got them).
I'd say Candy Blue color would really pop, but not be too "loud," with your body color. But it's really up to you, if you really want the calipers to stand out, go with red, yellow, etc. Or look into the gray/charcoal color the Nissan Akebono on the 370Z's. My 2 cents.

I am getting the whole thing from CZP.
I heard the Akebonos in general squeak a lot over time but im going hawks ceramic because of the dust. my wheels get all covered in brake dust within a week and i hate cleaning it off so often
But would it be better to have the fluid regardless since im getting it as a package? i think its only around like a 30$ difference...not sure
