Default iRotors + Painted Calipers: PICS!

i dont have speed so i didn't need a BBK and at the same time going through the hassel of making my wheels fit, so i got myself iRotors front and rear slotted and drilled rotors. they were for me mostly for appearance rather than performance. my old rotors and hubs were all rusted and i needed a new look, also they were warped so at high speed braking wasnt smooth. after the change i noticed no more vibrations and a slight increase in performance, but most of all its lookin good! i got all the work done at a shop and the i think the calipers could have been painted a little better. they decided to go ahead and paint the hubs black to match the calipers. Dupont caliper paint set was used. the decals were not put on at first because although it said they were heat resistant, i wasn't absolutely sure and also there was no clearcoat at the shop for it. i got home and decided to put it on myself, considering that it might melt and ruin all the paint: i put on a lot of clearcoat!

enuff talk, pics:

their stock sized rotors

and the decals are from ebay for 9bucks! kind of expensive for four small decals and considering i destroyed one already, but anyways the stock rears cant fit any, so use two and have two spares. i only found one seller selling curved decals, all the rest of the ebay ones are straight, not too clean

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my calipers, but with red instead of black. How is the paint holding up?
