you can paint them yourself, if that's what your asking, but I think the easiest way would be to remove the caliper from the car, scrub it as clean as possible, hang it from a coat hanger or wire and then paint. Get high temp grill paint maybe at Home Depot and then a gloss coat AFTER you apply the decal

Thought about Brembo decals but don't think that would look good. And I think I already know everyone is going to tell me not to do it at all...
I'm so down to have red caliper with the Audi rings. Where you from, I wanna learn a thing or to with some modding

That's right. Especially for someone that's a legend in his own mind!
