Since you painted the entire brake calipers isn't the paint around the brake bleeder nipple cap going to crack when you bleed the brakes?

Yup, but I dont care untill that day comes. And if it does crack, it will only crack where I shouldnt have painted anyway. So untill then I dont have a black eye sore on my pretty red caliper.

So what do you think you gained with that mod, 2-3 hp?

Looks good, don't forget the clear coat . . . .

Apply it after you put on the decals to keep the decals looking nice.
