Brake Calipers Painted - Looks Good!

Well done. In my experience you don't need to clearcoat the calipers or decals. The ebay decals adhere to the calipers very solidly and the paint looks great. I used Duplicolor brush on paint and the Xenon Mods decals from Ebay.

I screwed up one of mine getting the pistons back in after a rebuild and need to do it over... or do them all over. They're all a little beat up and I could have done a much better job if I had removed them from the car and done it on a work bench.

Removing your calipers isn't hard for lurkers reading this thread. Two bolts and the brake line is all that's keeping them tethered to the wheel carrier. Bleeding brakes is also very easy too.

By removing them, you can thoroughly clean the caliper with brake cleaner and paint the whole thing much better.

I am also going to find high temp spray the next time around to get rid of brush marks. If anyone can recommend a high temp spray, PM me with the info.

angman is right about the decals not peeling off easily without clear coat. A shot or two of high temp clear coat would keep the red paint (or whatever color they're being painted) stay on a little longer though.
