Thanks!
I painted them by hand with a G-2 Caliper Epoxy Paint kit and bought decals on eBay from a seller who sells the decals in any color you might want.
After applying the decals, I covered them with a couple of coats of high-temperature clear.
Total cost was less than $50 and one afternoon.
Regards, Maurice.

But are the decals only like stickers? Wont it cook and wrunkle in high temperatures of the caliper?

They've been on there for about two years with no signs of any cooking or wrinkling.

I did the exact same thing with the paint and the stickers. I have had no issues over the past 2 years either.

I haven't even put the spin locks in yet. The top is just on the car. Has not been cleaned yet and the car looks like poop right now sitting under its cover..AND the back garage has not been dug out since the last storm. I'll see what I can do for you after work though Sorry to hijack this thread.
