I do like what you have done with yours and I think I'm going to do Yellow on one and see what it looks like and if I don't like it ill paint over it black. What is that decal made out of that its not melting? I do a few track weekends a year and I would think after a few laps they would melt off!
Funny thing about those decals, and the paint for that matter as well - there is absolutely nothing unique about either. I don't even think the paint is technically a high heat paint, if I remember right. I know when I painted the wheels on my Miata I just regular old Rustoleum and I had zero issues - about $3 for the can. And I did plenty of hard charging canyon runs in that little car. As for the Crossfire, I've done a few track day weekends as well, with not a hint of problem. What's crazy is the ONLY painted calipers I've ever had issue with are the ONLY calipers I've ever used a two part high heat caliper specific paint - about $38 for the can. Those have exhibited plenty of paint loss over the years for some weird reason. The decals are just a standard old vinyl that you see in any decal shop. I did not spray any clear over the decals on the Crossfire, but tested it on my wife's car. The edge of the decal lifted ever so slightly when the clear was shot on, but you have to look close to see it. Still, they're holding up with no issue, but then again she never pushes her car very hard at all.
