The paint was VHT.
The inspiration was your work, but given our time frame we actually created our own decals using the plotter at the shop. My car was the first one done at the shop with such a treatment and they are now going to offer it as a custom service.

Polak does have the best decals. I just finished mine in red on my Sunlight Silver. ---with G2 paint, and it looks incredible, really makes the car. It's like a great accent piece. I'll post pics within a few days, when it is light out.

Question: I have noticed that when everyone paints their calipers they only paint the metal parts leaving what looks to be a gap b/w those two parts. What would happen if we painted the whole thing including that gap, so that it looked like one big caliper instead of two seperate parts? Is it bad for the brakes?
I ask because when I had my Infiniti I painted the calipers black, but when I did so, I just painted the whole thing. All I did was cover the rotors so I wouldn't get any overspray on them and then I was done. No problems to speak of either. Thanks in advance for your help.
