          Used brush, did need 2 coats but well impressed with the finish and the decals are high temp vinyl suitable for the calipers

                Got paint and decals from Ebay

                Paint Item number : 220910152227

                Decals Item number : 380417011841

                Sorry I tried to post a link direct to them but it wouldn't work?

                  Looks good

                  Would like to do RED with decals but waiting till bought my next house with off road parking

                  Was told that the paint does burn off after a while, and thought of covers rather than paint but now
                  back to paint again- how long u reckon your paint will last?

                  Wonder how much actual Brembo red calipers are for the DS3?

                        I like the look of that, but I've got a black car with white wheels so not sure which way round to do them :confused:

                          I had a White Renaultsport RS200 and added black speedline alloys option along with cup chassis option which included red Brembo calipers which were just awesome, thought about doing the DS's in red but went with the black in the end.

                              Looks good, thinking of painting mine soon but with having a white with black roof I don't know if I should go black or white or go for something completely different like lime green or orange lol
