regarding the clear markers, I am NOT so sure I am a fan of them on a chrome silver, makes for NO contrast on the car, on a brick they look good because brick and orange look so bad together.

The red calipers add a nice touch to an already classy looking Z. I like it!

what kind of paint did you use?? Hope the guy who did the stickers posts in this trend, cause I like those stickers.

Rod, I am almost a little embarrassed, I used the Plastic-kote caliper spray paint from pep-boys, it was very cheap, like $6 or so, BUT I kind if regret it, not in how it turned out, BUT it took about 4 hrs to do. I took someone elses recommendation and sprayed the paint in a cup and brushed it on, the ONLY negative is that is it very thin and takes a TON of coats.

If I were to do it again, I would either buy the kits that are a paint on kit (G2??) or take the calipers off and disassemble everything then spray them. It took forever and I was very sore the next day from all the sitting on a hard floor and in awkward positions for so long.

I just checked my old mail, his name is "JVD Graphics" do a search and mail him, he still has them. I washed my car 2 days ago and the stickers were fine with hose and wipping them (something I was a little worried about)

Yeah, I am a little worried about what paint to use. I know how cheap I am, and that paint would be real tempting to me too. Of course, I don't want the paint to come off, cause I don't want to have to repaint the calipers again. Cheap and lazy, a bad combo, lol.

LOL, I am not really worried about it coming off, it looks like it is good stuff, it just tool sooooooooo long and was such a pain. Also have to make sure you COMPLETELY clean and dry them prior to painting. I was reinstalling my wheels after they got re-clearcoated, and the paint has been waiting for over a month, it just made it that much easier to do since I already had to switch the wheels, etc....
