Brushed Aluminium Brake Caliper Decals

[Lord Ripper]

Hi guys.

OK I have white Lex decals that were waiting to go on, then I spotted these on e-bay (Look nice !)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8061179071&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

They arrived yesterday and I just wanted to see if anyone else had similar ones to these, and as they are thin metal instead of vinyl, should I be aware of anything ? Should I laquer over them ?

Thanks ;)

Just make sure the caliper is clean and free from dust etc etc. Some people have laquered them on after to. I never bothered on mine and there still mint after 6 months.

do laquer them mate, ive had mine on about 8 months now and ive notived a bit of the 'L' has started to peel away. ive also got a couple of chips on them. when it warms up i think im going to strip them down and start again.

OK thanks for the quick responses guys :) So should I bother using a hairdryer ? and will any clear laquer cope with the punishment ? - I bought one of those pen sized touch up things of laquer from Halfords..
