You said in your write up it will looked liked brushed alluminum right before you use the metal polish. If you were to spray some sort of clearcoat on the calipers at this point, would it stay looking like brushed alluminum?

hey that looks pretty nice I might do that my self. It's pretty hard to find a color for things like calipers when your car is 'mystic teal'.

Actually that is one of my good friend's write up. (OhOneWS6 from ls1.com)I would think that you could just clearcoat them and they would stay that way. Who knows, might look good. Why dont you try it.

Paint them and get the little decals to stick on there! That would look bad *** !

Make sure you post some pictures when you are done! ;)
