I didn't remove the Caliper.

I've used 3M Coated Abrasive Scotch-Brite Roloc.

It looks good. Ive been looking to do mine but im not too much of a mechanic and dont want to mess anything up. I bought the stickers already because we were planning to do a caliper painting party in the DFW area.

Just remember not to apply decal until the paint is fully cured because once you put the decal, you have to remove the clear protective film.

Did you use a dremel tool or a drill?

I've used air tool since I was in the shop, but I am sure dremel will do the job.

Outstanding color choice on your calipers - looks great against the Neb Grey

Is this method of painting the calipers permanent or does it wear off after a period of time?
