i actually was just going to peel the clear coat off and just spray clear on them. But i totally sanded them down(alot of work) painted 3 layers of red then laid down the sticker then sprayed 3 coats of clear. Im thinking if it last a year it will be worth it. If it does start to peel again i will have them powdercoated.

It is actually pretty easy....Takes a while though.
I took a pick and peeled as much as I could. then I took a red scrub pad and scuffed the entire surface. I cleaned them with brake cleaner. Let it dry for about an hour. Then hit them with several coats of VHT Clear. Waited about 10 mins between coats.
If you are careful you can keep the stock Brembo sticker. Just don't go too crazy with the peeling and scuffing.
Oh after it is all dry and ready for paint make sure you mask off your entire wheel well and fender/quarter panel with tape and newspaper out to about 3 feet from the caliper.
Mine have been done for almost a year now and I have not had any problems what so ever.
