Default Repainting Calibers

My front calipers look like crap due to long and hard track use. Also had some brake fluid leak on one side effectivly removing the paint.

Painting them red is easy but the logo is hard. Have the mark as a AI file so that I can make an inverted sticker which I can use a guide to paint the text.

But was thinking someone might have a better idea?

After painting them put your decal on then spray the entire caliper with a high-temp clear coat, that will protect the decal as well as the paint and will last longer.

About to pull my calipers and do the same but mine will be powder coated not painted, then using a stencil to paint the logo.

There is a service here on the forum that powder coats and rebuilds them. I've seen some of their work and it looks awesome. TPS MAK ....Do a search.
