i think you should have cleaned your brakes a bit more before painting fella... i am also a sign maker myself... what vinyl have you used? surely if that is just standard vinyl it will melt after heavy breaking!!!

i only used the best vinly ORACAL 751, very busy doing my bike decals, as just got panel from the spray shop, had spare 1 hour to do my  brake, cant see them any way look better than rust.

Will be after some of them at some point, can you do pink? And are they the metal type so they wont melt with heat?
