Thank you. Do you feel that the VHT is as bright red as Brembo or Wilwood calipers in their reds? The VHT has stood up well over time? One paint I was looking at (expensive spray can with activator) must be used within under 8 hours. No chance of doing calipers individually. Would prefer a VHT or similar if color is bright. I have F Sport heat resistant stickers that are going to fit.
