Brembo stickers are high heat one, as i purchased on Ebay, made in USA. That guy was from Pittsburgh. He had very good rating , the price with shipping like 15$ . Again there are lots of decals on there, so careful pick the one that has very good raing and paid for a few bucks more to get the quality .

Yup , paints are also high temperature , used for engine and brake calibers. 3 or 4 coats then the stickers goes on then 2 coats of glossy to protect the paint

Careful not to sand it too much just a bit to get good surface to prep, and clean it well , primer it , then spray it well . Practice a bit 1st on the cart board hold about 8 to 10 inches away from it, steady hand. 3 or 4 coats are fine, Then dried up , stickers and then gloss coats at last. let it dry at least 4 hrs if u dont have to drive the car right away even better

Blitz, great job on all of your mods. You've inspired me to paint my calipers!

Do the WEDSSPORT SA55M come in red accents?
