the pic makes it look odd but they actually look really good and the paint holds really well it was, black VHT paint and i had brembo decals made then put like four layers of clear coat baked them in the oven and another layer of clear. been done for like a week now and no chips so i guess it worked

baked them for like 15 mins at 200, you can do it longer but i didnt take the rubber caps off and i didnt want them to melt just in case, kind of hard to tell but the brembo is in silver to match the silver car will post full car pics later when its not dark outside thanks
