Default Caliper painted and clear coated. Sh!tty camera phone pics inside:

The decal lays over a partly raised portion of the caliper. Im wondering if this will be an issue down the road.

Taping everthing up was a pain in the ***. I still need to sand down a few spots that were victim to my fallible tape job.

Notice the 'd' and 'i' and the left part of the first ring...

Looks good! Did you take apart completely, or just mask appropriately?

Default I grinded down the raised area and then finished it with some sandpaper. Decal is better flat.
