Hello all.

I have finally got round to painting my calipers and I'm just about to put some decals on them. The ones I got are these from fleabay...

LINKY (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-Brake-Caliper-Calliper-Decals-Stickers-R-S60-V70_W0QQitemZ380222762779QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Car sParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item58870aef1b)

I was wondering, is the adhesive they come backed with strong enough or should I put some of my own on? A mate of mine superglued his a few months back and has had no probs with peeling etc. I just wondered what advice anyone can give.

Cheers guys/gals.

For some time Ive wanted to paint my brake calipers in front and rear red, just like porche 911 has. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and if anyone knows what paint should I use to make breaks shinny red

I use halfrauds calliper paint its brilliant stuff, I bought another brand and it was rubbish there was dirt in the paint and it was like water cost £18 too

I used the decals on some calipers on my old rover,they only started to peel when i used a lance at a petrol station cleaning my car,so just be carful.
