I like the new wheels on the 2LT and the painted Brembo's came out great. Where did you get the Brembo decals? Are you going to paint the calipers on the 2 LT?

Nice wheels and especially the calipers. I've seen the decals on eBay. Was your paint a spray or did you brush on several coats to even it out? Did you leave them on and tape around them or remove them. Sorry for the questions, but I got to do this to my calipers and this price is definitely in my range. Thankx for sharing.

the paint on the calipers is your standard rattle can spray paint and is the high temp it was as close as i could get to inferno orange and for 15 bucks i had nothing to lose

I used that dupli color chevy red-orange spray paint on my engine cover. Its a perfect match to IOM! I have wanted to paint the calipers too but just havent done it. Seems like quite a project to take on! Looks really good though!
