Acid green calipers w/pics

So just finished painting my calipers. Here are some pics.

Paint/clear was about 230.00$ ( this is the smallest they would sell me, I have enough for about 15 more sets)
High temp primer 9.00$
PORSCHE high temp decals 13.00$ on amazon

Nice job! I happen to love that color. Hell, I'd like to paint my car acid green! But man, you have to stop leaving the spoiler up when it's parked!

Yep, I am doing this.

What type of paint gun did you use? I've seen some cheap for "home" use kits out there but not sure of how effective they are.
