You simply paint the caliper, let it dry, and then place the sticker onto the surface of the caliper and you are done. No need to put on clear coat or anything of the sort.

Mine have lasted for over 4 yrs and still flawless, even through New England winters and powerwashing.

Scott17 has some on his xB's red calipers that say "SCION" in silver. I'm not sure if it's vinyl or paint, but it looks too perfect to be paint. You might hit him up for pics of his set up. I thought I had pics from a show we went to, but I can't find them.

Dont go to Oracal, very poor quality.



JUST got my new machine in yesterday so I can finally start cutting again. Just waiting for my vinyl to finally arrive too, I've only got black left.

I talked to the owner of the board and he said that I could not sell on this board without paying for the membership fee, so if there are people interested you will have to email me, otherwise I wont be on this board as much, atleast not selling that is.
