I'm down for that too. Looks good against NBP, and the decal really sets it off. It will definitely turn heads or get a second look. Cool.

decal wont melt(due to heat) or peel off due to pressure wash?

No it's a acrylic and it resistant. If it wont melt from the heat of my braking on my daily commute. I do was it regularly and no signs of of the decal pulling back.

I removed the wheels and cleaned the calipers with brake cleaner and a stiff brush. I then taped everything of with 3m painters tape that I wasn't painting. I then did three coats on each caliper and let dry for three hours before putting the wheels back on. Then I didn't drive it for 18hrs.
