Did mine in gold. Looks great with black stickers and black rims.

Question, does it matter where to get decals for the calipers? Do most people clearcoat over it, or just stick it on top of the painted calipers?

You'd be looking for High Heat or High Temp decals/stickers. Doesn't really matter where you get them from...I think most got to eBay.
Just read the product description to make sure you can use it for a high temp application.

Some have cleared over the stickers, but most just stick them on top the paint/powdercoating.
