I did the same, got a can of UV clear coat spray and no fade.

My S Calipers are dull and faded, all the clear coat is gone. I was thinking about spraying them red with Caliper paint (after surface prep of course). I Was curious if you used the eBay decals or what ?

Also do you apply the decals and then a few coats of clear coat ?? I cant see a caliper decal lasting long in that environment.

I have some wheel clear coat...or is there a high temp type for calipers ??

Thanks in advance

I would clear coat over the decals and use a high temp clear. RUST-OLEUM makes a clear engine enamel that would probably work well.
