Default Caliper Painting and Decals

Hey guys

Well I'm startin the process of painting my brake calipers. Ive searched and searched and it seems like G2 has the best kit so I'm ordering the gloss black. However, on the decals situation I'm alittle stuck. Found some on decalgirl.com here

http://www.decalgirl.com/browse.cfm/4,224.htm

There's so many colors besides white which is what I want. Anyone know what the color "Blossom" is? Thinking it might be white. If I can't get white, would Battleship Grey or Bright Silver Metallic or something else look the best in your guys' opinions? I have a Silverstone with 35% tint.

Also, I've searched from some guides on how to paint s2k calipers and found a thread awhile ago that was great but forgot to bookmark it. So anyone have any good step by step guides with some pictures that would help me out or will the instructions with the G2 kit be enough? Any other tips? Thanks!

Where'd you get the white decals? The closest I can find are those Bright Silver Metallic on decalgirl.com .

You should get all the casting marks smoothed off before painting. It looks so much better.

Wonder why they're not offering white anymore? That's where I originally bought my white decals. You should email them asking what's up and report back here as I was about to order another set.
