Calipers Painted Finally
As the title says.. Got em done! Went to a local GTA shop (tire connection) great bunch of guys working there! They really took their time to do the job and I think it turned out awesome (:
I did get talked out of the yellow paint though.. I really had my mind set on yellow!!! They said keeping them clean would drive me nuts in the long run soooo I caved and got red instead... I tried to match the factory decals, mad at myself for not taking before pictures though hard to compare now... lol

So are they going to be able to withstand all the heat those Brembos create? Also, did they like clear coat over the decals so they wouldn't peel off?

yes they should be able to handle the heat.
http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/caliperpaint/ no clear over the decals. been driving around all over just fine for two days so far no signs of peeling yet.. drove through a nice storm too, but we shall see... This is almost a test for me, see how dirty they really do get from a few days of driving. If its easy to keep up with I will most definitely do a change up next year and get yellow done.
