Disk Brake Decals

I am about to refinish my calipers and have a set of decals I purchased off eBay years ago....my question is are there any better or worse ones on the market ??

I know I will need a few coats of clear over them after applied......but

I never cleared over mine and they held up fine. Just the generic ebay ones from years ago.

I plan to refresh my caliper paint this summer as its been about 7 or 8 years. The decals, without clear coat are not torn or bad looking.

The eBay decals are what I used. As long as they're cut well, they will be fine.

If you're going to clear coat your calipers to protect the finish, may as well do decals first so they're protected, also.

that is what I used. I did spray several coats of clear over them. I Used High temp paint from advanced auto parts and they look fine.
