Caliper logo

When everyone paints there calipers do you leave the decal on or are you guys using it to paint the logo on. I've searched and can't find the answer. Also I'm using g2 paint if that matters.

When you paint the calipers, you're going to have to sand it which will take off the Acura logo. Just search around on eBay and you should be able to find the stickers for relatively cheap.

I'm assuming this is for the Brembos up front?

I didn't know if people were painting the logos on like painting the calipers white then putting the logo on then painting them red and removing the logos. So the white brembo is showing

When I did mine I just sanded them down, painted them, put the Brembo sticker on, and then did a few layers of clear on top of everything. Mine have held up fine and I dont have any problems with the stickers coming off or anything like that.

I actually like the Brembo logo on there better than the Acura logo.
