Use as tip. I had my buddy do my calipers at the body shop butttt.
But first primer them. Then paint the front of the calipers the color of the BREMBO you want. (all with flat colors. Then put the sticker where they go. Then paint the caliper the color you want them with the stickers on. Then,... Take the stickers off. Then scuff everything with 1000 grit. Then clear 2-3 times. Walla. Clean caliper job

Check out this thread. They still look like the first day I did them. Granted no track use but occasional hard braking

I don't recommend clearing them. The clear will turn yellow from the heat. The dupli-color paint is designed for brake calipers and man did I have my doubts, if it would hold. I'm really impressed with it's performance thus far.
The dupli-color has a built in shine so no clear needed.

Well, I guess if I'm not doing clear then I can't put the Brembo stickers on either since they will just melt off...

I apologize if I upset you. My evo is crap honestly. Id love your setup even running 11.50's. I have an 05 with maybe 340whp. I didnt mean to insult you or knock your car its beautiful. I just see a whole new setup and only a .5 sec gain. I know if it were me Id be hoping for at least a full second or it wouldnt be worth it. Again beautiful car and sorry if I came across as a hater. Id gladly trade cars/setups with you
Keep us up with the updates buddy
