Turned out really nice IMO

How'd you get the "Infiniti" on there?
I've seen the caliper painting kits, but those are just one solid color.

Cool... Great idea, but they'd never last out here on the East Coast.
I think the weather we get here would cause the to peel/fall off.

I do plan on painting my calipers black this summer though.
Looks great.

I would not paint them any color, but if you must, paint it silver or something as close as the original color as possible.

Thanks again!!
They are a high quality product that I have had on there for about 9 months with not issues whatsoever to this point(knock on wood)

If I did though I think a nice clear coat after the stickers were put on would solve any issues there......
