This is definitely one of the best, cheapest, and most worthwhile things you can do to your Evo.

I'll be doing this one day, but luckily my '03 paint and clearcoat is still holding up fairly well.

I wonder what color would go best with my AS Evo on gunmetal rims?

its easy,

You just have to do your best at removing all the old paint on the calipers. i.e. Sandblasting or do one hell of a sanding job. You have to get some high temp paint.

I need to do this to my Brembos. I have a set of FN01R-C Black Polished on the way and it would be a shame to put them on with those Crappy Looking Calipers.

Just did mine. There are 1 or 2 very small imperfections probably due to the humidity but anything looks better than my faded calipers. Sorry the car is a little dirty.

I bought them on ebay. I just searched hi-temp caliper decals and there's a seller on there that can do pretty much any color. Cost $7.00 total for 6. 3 big and 3 small. It only took 4 days too.
