Actually it is Plastidip. I figured I would give it a shot for winter as my cleaning regiment goes way down during these months, living in the city and all. Also, I get bored so easily, figured it just peels off.

Yes indeed it is, I used Ford Blue VHT paint from my local Autozone. 3 coats of VHT paint, added the decal, and 2 coats of clear. I didn't bother taking them off, no one will see the back side anyways. Just mask them well, use some caliper cleaner to prep the surface and remove road grease, paint, and go.

Oh, and welcome to the forum! I'm honored to be quoted in your very first post here.

JPS, great gallery of stoppers, any luck getting installed pics? You really need your own gallery thread with all your work in one concise place. One of theses days in the not too distant future I'm going to send you my motor cover for you to work your magic

Ive been trying to decide color as well. I usually like red but it seems alittle bright for our car. The more I look at these blue calipers, the more I like them. I may go this direction.
