I did mine w/ the G2 system and the vinyl lettering. No issues yet. They stay on just fine and no clear over them.

Custom color from G2. I have painted black stripes with the same color blue pin striping. Color number is WA482P. Cost is more (around $100) but my girl is worth it!

I've never understood the point of painting calipers in the first place, but a matching paint is better than Orange.

How many miles/years do you have on that paint? Held up well?

Just did them this past summer so actually only 1000 or so. Picture I posted was a couple days after I did them but they look exactly the same today. Car has been covered up in the garage since end of November. Read many posts from others before I decided and everyone says the G2 lasts for years. Got the decals from a guy on ebay. If you are interested send me a PM and I'll get you the link.

The PowderPro out in Woodstock filled, smoothed and powdercoated them.
