    Brake caliper decals

    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

    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.

    Cheers, VK. You've used these before I take it?

    Brake caliper decals

    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 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.
