His pictures don't show any calipers with the decals on them. I would like to see the font he uses. Maybe I am just missing the pics.
Click the color choice and you will see the decall on the caliper. Only problem I see is it is not our caliper & it is only for the front.

I called him.. hes located in Orange, CA. but thats kinda far from me. It doesnt show $10 for the set but he does sell them. These are probably the same ones that Decalgirl.com was selling or maybe better.

I used the brush on duplicolor brake kit about a year and a half ago and the paint is flaking off pretty badly now. I will not be using it again when I redo my calipers.

I cleaned the crap out of everything before I painted too with brake cleaner and wire brushes.

Weird. The one's on my truck were painted in '04 and they still look great.

Oh well, that's why I was asking.

Anyone else have a bad experience with the duplicolor kit????

Do it the right way.
Take your calipers off. Have the casting marks polished off, then have them powder coated read, and cleared.

maybe its just me, but im no so hot on the idea of drawing attention to my SINGLE piston calipers. they stop ok, but for a 30k sports car honda couldnt give us two pistons and a nice caliper. i.e. TL/RL/NSX

I totally agree. They were definitely trying to save $$ when they decided on calipers for this car. But if I was going to color my calipers I would have them polished and powder coated.

I will most likely PC mine black, to hide them.
