The Dupkicolor kits come in Red, Black, Blue and Silver I believe. The decals can be found on E-bay as well has Xenonmods.com. I have them also, no problems as of yet. You receive 6 og each with an order.

Just thought I'd put my pics up...just painted the fronts yesterday...will do the backs Monday or Tuesday...also, I just ordered a set of decals from www.xenonmods.com

As you can see from the pics, the blue paint is similar to, but not the exact same color as the stripes.

EDIT: The paint is plain old VHT ($7.99 a can) color SP-732 Bright Blue

I painted mine also. I chose to do all 4 wheels at once. The instructions say to wait 15 minutes between coats and that is just about how long each caliper took to paint. By the time I finished with the 4th caliper, the first one was ready for another coat. I did 3 coats all together and waited 24 hour before putting the wheels back on.

By the time I was all done, I still had half the paint left, so I decided to paint the IUP door sills also.

I used 2 pairs of jack stands to hold the car up. Getting all the tires off is the hardest part of this job

This is the cheapest mod I've done so far and by far one of the best looking.
