Clean and simple :good:

If I had Brembos I'd like, change out the stickers on a monthly basis and like, run STi stickers one side and Brembo on the other side and like, do that trick where you overlay one colour sticker with another colour slightly offset so it looks like a drop shadow, right? :P

I asked mark to "take his brake thing to the next level" and the plan was to get the job quoted. But mark insisted. :-)
I'm just glad the job didn't "brake" him. :P

I love the polished calipers. I would have done black stickers but that's me. Looks amazing!

No clear coat over stickers = change out as required. :D
It's a bit of an experiment really, thus I intend to take the calipers to Mark's local plating/polishing/coating shop to get a rough quote on:
A: Mark's finish (flawless).
B: as close as they can get on a reasonable budget.
C: quote for zinc plating these a la Brembo F1, just in case...
D: powdercoat chrome/black chrome. That was one of the finishes we considered prior.
Needless to say Mark has first right of refusal if I ever need to part with these beauties!
