Can someone here give me some suggestions in getting my calipers painted red? Where can I get the decals? Should I use any clear coat above the paint? Should I do the job myself or pay a shop for that? I'm afraid of overspray....

if you would like them done properly and professionally then you have to remove them from the vehicle and have the calipers powder coated to the color you like. since you're already in there you can bleed the system and put better brake fluid in as well although the oem product is adequate.

as far as painting goes, it's straight forward but without the proper prep-work it it will crack, chip, peel etc.

which decals are you looking for? brembo?

Where can I get the S line stickers from? I guess I'm going to ask some local places that does the powder coating. Do you have any leads of places?

Thanks,

I'm thinking to use red G2 paint brush on mine as well. Is this going to void warranty?

Just found a local shop who can power coat them for $75 a piece, but I have to take them apart. Wondering if there is a DIY for this?
