Is it hard to paint without taking the caliper off? Where did you get the "Lexus" decal and can it handle the heat?

It's pretty easy like I said I pretty much free handed the whole DIY. Just got to be careful with edges. I got the decals from Motogfx.com prince is cheap everyone here buys from there also., as far as handling heat Yes it handles heat extremely well Hines it's break caliper paint.
