I think the paint will stick just fine and will be easy to clean if you put the high temp clear coat over them at the end (over the vinyl graphic). I have never had to clean my red calipers.

Thanks for the feedback....and once again....the calipers are very nicely done!!!!

Calipers look good. But, gotta be hell to clean them due to brake dust.
