That looks good...I am not sure how much your guy charges in Montreal to do this...but you can seriously do this at home for a small cost and a little time.
I refinished my TT brakes for about $30 for the pair..that was 2+ years ago and they look still look perfect today. you DO NOT have to sand blast the callipers either..infact I advise against it.
I can post pics if you would like.

I've had best results by stripping them down to bare aluminum -- any chips in the original finish will show up in the powdercoat.
For the calipers shown above, I would make sure the brake pads slide easily into the caliper. Powdercoating or even painting for that matter builds up on those abutment plates. This is the reason I always remove them before refinishing.

I used to refinish these in batches

but perhaps a little too picky -- or maybe OCD -- I disassembled them, zinc plated the steel bits then refinished the caliper body, reassembled.
