Painted Calipers (red) + mounted pic!
Used the DIY MyG37 - View Profile: breftayka
Couldn't be happier.
Thanks to Breftayka for that thread!
Also, I know some people go to shops to have decals made, but I ordered my caliper decals right from VinylDecals.com | Akebono Brake Caliper Decal Set ..You can choose any color you want, and they are perfect fitment for G37s Calipers.
Going to put them on either today/tomorrow, bleed my brakes then I will post some pics with everything put back together.

^ I actually seen some today @ my local parts store.. Have you checked yours? You dont just have to buy the stuff that says caliper paint, you can get yourself a can of the engine enamel one. They have a huge color selection.. As long as the front of the paint can says 'withstand up too 500 degrees.'

No I actually bought a can that said Caliper paint but both paints are the same exact thing...And right next to one another on the shelf in the stores. I've just notice that the engine enamel paint comes in wide variety of colors...
Rain do you plan on doing your calipers chrome??

How do the decals hold up over time with the heat and wheel cleaner solutions?

Mounted pics will be up tommarow on this forum so def. check back, cause I want your opinon besides the one that says get some aftermarket wheels! hahaha, trust me I know.
And G-man to answer your question^ I threw about three coats of clear-coat on them after I put the decals on to give them a little extra strength. I mean they are stickers technically, so I'm guessing depending on how much driving one does, they will eventually need to be changed every 3 years. But I guess we will have to see..??

They look good, I'm thinking of doing mine but I'm afraid it won't come out good haha.
I was going to powdercoat mine but it's expensive
I wonder if there is another form of red.
