Hi all...sorry for delay in response.

The caliper paint has held up well for the most part. No problems at all up front with paint or M decal. However, I moved from Florida to DC in late Dec and the salted roads gave the rear calipers a beating. Took a good amount of the paint off unfortunately.

To answer a couple of the other questions...yes they are all painted and then cleared and yes I realized the decals were wrong way round AFTER clearing. Oh well!

That looks good. I am planning on doing the same, but with black paint. Just waiting on my decals to arrive. Hoping that applying the clear over the sticker will keep it intact. We have some rough winters in NYC as well, so we will see how it holds up over time.

You guys have convinced me to do this as soon as I have a free weekend day. My calipers are already rusty looking so it looks horrible.
