Default Re: Of painted calipers and under wing decals

I went a different route on my calipers - rather than painting them a loud color that shouts "hey, lookee here, I'm a caliper!!" I went with a semi-gloss black. And rather than a Mercedes decal I had a local shop make up some fairly standard Chrysler logo decals with a little curve to them. In silver, of course. Rear calipers were also painted but are decal free. Too bad the factory wheels have such wide spokes, but there you have it.




I used to have a Karmann decal under the rear wing but, well, since I work for Meguiar's I figured this was probably a bit more apropos.



So, there you have it. Just a couple of recent new touches to the Roadster.
As always, looks great Mike, very low key.

How exactly are the decals put on? Is it something you just stuck on after the fact, or did you paint, wait to dry, put on decal, and clear?

Thanks.
