transamwes: You need to upload your picture to a hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack.

What clear coat did you use transamwes? Ive got the caliper paint and decals, but i never thought of doing a clear over them to keep the decals and paint looking good.

thank you very much! only thing would have done diff. is take a grinder then polisher to the face of the caliper to smooth it out better before paint.

Those came out really sharp and clean looking. Im sure they really stand out against those rims and your black paint. You should post up some pics of your SS with a shot of the calibers. The pics you posted really makes me want to spray mine. Nice Job!
