I don't plan on DIY
Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop in Chicago ?

Any bodyshop, you're going to have to shop around....

You're going to just have to go to a body shop and get a quote....I don't know that any shop is especially good at caliper painting specifically...mostly because it's almost impossible to screw up...everyone on here is going to tell you to DIY...

Exactly^ You beat me to it while I was typing the same thing

I would not trust anyone taking off my calipers, painting them and putting them back on.

You're probably going to get told a ridiculous price
And they're just going to run to the auto parts store to pick up some $10 Dupli Color caliper paint, which you could do as well.

But the G2 stuff is better, IMO

Good luck
