Default putting a caliper sticker on S4 caliper...

Default Stuck right over the bump...8000 miles and no clear, still look fine.
I know they are probably not he stickers you are refering to, but clear may not be neccessary.

This pic is from when it was freshly painted.

Default This was discussed just yesterday. I put mine over the bump with 1 coat of regular clearcoat and
it's been fine for a year.

What paint do you use for that. And did you spray on or hand paint. Looks very nice.

Default We used a dremel to grind down a little.
