There is no pony on them just paint. Mine have been done a year and look like new. All I did was clean them very well with brake cleaner and then again with paint thinner. Mask everything real good including the car with a sheet for overspray and paint. I did not clear coat them. The paint is 900 degree farenheit paint and is glossy. Hope the pics help you decide.

Car looks good, just repaint the shield with black caliper paint.

Use these: http://brain1.tripod.com/paints.html
$3.99 and works just as good as the $6 "caliper paint"
