Easy to paint with Calipers left on? Says it applies with brusk so I imagine removing wheel and painting with caliper still on it fairly easy and results are good? For $20/ kit this is a great alternative to enhance the dull stock calipers.

Hey Jim...the painted calipers look great!

How did you handle the hole in the middle of that plate on the caliper? It looks like the sticker goes right over the hole but it's hard to tell from the small picture. Any chance you could post close up picture? Thanks!!

Hey Glockz,

Yes, the sticker went over the hole. I thought about mounting the sticker off center, but it looked funny. I'll post a close-up photo tonight.

Thanks for checking out the calipers!
