Anyone on this board done the painting and caliper stickers from this ebay seller and NOT clear coated over them? How long have the stickers lasted? How do you clean your calipers to insure the stickers don't get scrubbed off?

I just can't imagine taking off my rims and masking off the whole wheel area AGAIN (and covering the whole car for that matter) just to clear coat spray the calipers to keep the stickers on.

But, I will if I must. I do not want to have to fiddle with the stickers in six months or whatever...

RandallNeighbor, I've been putting off this project for a while now. Our BOx has the standard black which is fading. Colored calipers add such a dimension. Please inform us how you progress and post pix after you're done. I'm curious how it turns out.

they will not peel off if applied nicely. after they are painted, wait till they are dry, use some soapy water to rinse them off and clean any excess dirt that may have gotten on there. make sure that its not cold out when putting the decals on.
put them on, then use a credit card of something like that and rub them in good, like go over the transfer tape at least like 20 times, w ur fingers, card and whatever else u may have...pell it off and ure done.

like i said b4, i had them on my camaro, same vendow, xenonmods, and they held up. a lot of my friends have done the same thing with same results, thats y i didnt bother clearcoating them
