Default Painted Calipers
So I have decided to paint my calipers. I want to paint them red however I want to paint little audi rings on them a different color. Anybody know how to get some rings in there and what kind of paint i need to use?

Do you thinks decals will actually stand up to that kind of heat?

Just like we do on some cars we use stencils and a high heat resistant paint and use those items to paint the calaper. You should have no problem if you use the right things!
