when you guys painted the calipers, did you have to take them off and paint them? I know it would be better but what did you giys opt to do? So Ted does not sell them anymore? Is there anyone else who sells them?

Haha. You guys are funny.
Check this out.
I did this myself.
I had to redo them cause the tire shop chipped my brakes....
I stenciled and painted them myself. No stickers for me. Paint!

I just got my Caliper Stickers from Ted Chrzanowski.
His E-mail address is: ted920@hotmail.com
For $17 he'll send you the full set. I sent him $20 just because he was a very cool guy to talk to and
he was very prompt in responding and helping me out with any questions I had.
I highly recommend getting in contact with Ted if you want these stickers. He's a great guy to do
business with.
I found some Black 900 degree High-Gloss "Caliper Paint" at Pep Boys.
Wire brushed any rust off then cleaned them really good with Brake Cleaner.
After masking off the Rotors with newspaper and masking tape I sprayed on 4 solid coats.
They came out very nice.
Here are a couple pics of my calipers right after putting the stickers on:
