          That will be great. When i did mine red, it was with matt red first, and it looked fine but a bit bland
          So did it again with gloss paint and it really shone thru
          So would suggest gloss glack with the yellow decal- clean with meths and a toothbrush first- least that what i do, and am doing later today or tomorrow too

            The ETech kit comes with the cleaner, I did mine within a week or two of buying the car so they were hardly grimy. The seller above is the place I got mine from and they are still attached with no issues

              Good as i have ordered two colours, yellow and black stickers and also yellow and black paint as i am not sure which colour to paint them yet have painted the front calipers black but will do one rear yellow to compare, a lot of work but need to see what they both look like lol

                My red calipers get dirty enough, hate to think how dirty yellow ones would get- theyd probly end up black anyway
                Sure it will be better, whatever colour you decide
                Better impact visually is front calipers, as they are double the size at least, compared to the rears (As i expect you have realised )

                  Which is why i am leaning towards black calipers Chris

                    Can you paint them whilst the wheels are on?

                      Unlikely, unless you have the hands of a five year old and the steadiness of a surgeon.

                          To be fair, it should only take you around 5-10 to remove each wheel. You could just shove each one in the boot as you go around..

                          If you're only doing the front's it shouldn't take more than an hour to get the wheels off and ready for painting (leaving them to dry will obviously take a little longer).

                              A quick splash with meths and a toothbrush, then paint with Caliper paint. It dries very quick, touch dry in lees than 10 mins
                              If you are careful the wheels go on over the newly painted caliper anyway- just be steady putting the wheel on. Obvs you cant put the decal on if wet

                              Then just dont use the car for a couple hours. Heat actually dries the paint better- its getting dirt on the new paint you worry about
