Hello mate, just paint them on, i did. I was worried about the stickers coming off, as they are subject to a lot of muck. I imagine a jet wash would rip em off.

they are crap waste of money! just get a small roller and piece of plastic roll onto the plastic not using to much paint and press onto the lettering of the caliper just repeat the process until ur happy with the result its not hard

As above, just paint them. I tried a small roller, but the paint went through past the lettering, so I got a very small artists type brush and just did it really carefully and that turned out ok.

I tried the stickers after a useless job of painting, they don't fit and come off as soon as you go near them with a jet wash

Don't be a tart and just paint the damn caliper one colour... letters and all!

The caliper/white letter paint gets pretty mucky and is tiresome to try to clean (unless you like doing that sort of thing on a regular basis, etc.)...

Newage WRX calipers don't have the raised letters, so stickers for mine if I ever repaint them.

If the paint went into the holes on the B etc, then either it is too runny, or you have overloaded your brush

Another trick is to paint the flat side of a piece of wood with the white paint, then press it onto the caliper letters. Allow to dry and repeat if necessary.
