Not bad. Did you put the decals or did they? I'm getting my bodykit painted in March or April. I'm going to get a quote first then I will ask how much more if they paint my calipers the same color. Hopefully they'll make a deal with me. Where did you get the decals?

Is it true from what I can tell, there is no problem with the decal burning or wrinkling due to heat after you clear coat over it?

If done right then no there should be no problem. Mine have been on for about 5 months and I have had zero issues them. I had a shop do them though.

I have the DEEP SEA MICA BLUE color Anyone knows the match or closest paint to it? It looks like all the blues I see are much lighter closer to ultrasonic blue.

Thanks! It took me several hours to do the whole project--I work at AutoNation so the techs helped me by putting car in the air and taking the rotors off so I could paint them. I used brake cleaner to take off excess paint spray from the disc. I painted calipers using a foam brush. The brush in the kit was leaving brush strokes. The Lexus decal was from ebay.
