Default Brake Caliper Painting

I figure this is the best place to post. I am about to tackle to ordeal of removing the brake aliper and griding them smooth and painting.

I've been searching all over for the S2000 decals that are for the calipers and can not find them anymore. I believe it was Decalgal that had them. Anyone know where I can purchase these?

And finally, I'd appreciate any quick tips that might save time when doing this. I need to grind , paint and put low dusting brake pads then drive home all in the same day.

I got my decals from decalgirl, but that was a little over a year ago and it doesn't look llike they have them on their website anymore.

What paint are you going to use? I used the G2 kit, it turned out great, but I had to let the car sit overnight to let it cure fully...

I'll probably use high temp engine paint, only because I don't have the option of overnighting the car.

I emailed Decalgirl to see if they still make them. I'll post if they're still available.

i used a g2 type epoxy from seriousauto.com
and decals from decalgirl

about 5 years ago and they still look like new!

pretty sure that neither site sells the products anymore-
i went with silver just to give it a cleaned up and subtle look
