Nice mate.
How do you seperate the writing on the calipers from being sprayed red as well?
Did you do the white first then the red?

when i did mine i used spray for the main colour on the caliper then used a small foam/sponge radiator roller for the lettering.
just rolls straight across the top and leaves a nice finish.
hope this helps

Good idea Tweaks, didn't think of that.
I think spraying would be easier and then roller over the top.
Nice one.

Thanks for your views guys, yeh I did cheat and use graphics for the subaru.
Didn't really expect them to look as good though so glad I did, will see how long they last and may end up painting instead.
I used Halfords own stuff for the red, **** its bright.
Here's a link for the graphics, they are spot on imo and came in the post next day. (front 90mm were the ones I got)
