No not VIN/Chassis number here in the UK we often use the registration/licence plate number to look up car details when ordering parts.

I like the "nuclear green", they do stand out. I am not a painter, and wouldn't pretend I am. Quick question what kind of paint did you use? I've cleaned an used primmer, but twice now when I use ceramic paint, in winter, it pops off ,in an almost perfect circle, where the piston is on the back side.

Thanks,

The colour it's self is just an aerosol can colour from a local motor factors and I then lacquered it using a proper 2k lacquer to give it a great finish.

What you describe sounds like it could be contaminants that the paint won't stick too or the paint is so thick and hard the fact it pops of behind the piston suggests it flexes and breaks away, so cleaning with a pre clean product is very important then I would also recommend spray painting the colour with a few light dusting coats and allow to dry before applying heavier coats.

I've always painted calipers with standard car paint (aerosols) I've never had any issues and so I've never used these caliper paint kits that you brush on so maybe give that a try, also there far more choice when it comes to colour.

I think think you said it , to much to fast. With the brush on caliper kits, you have to lay on a thick coat, for it to smooth out an lay down to get brush strokes out. Thankz

No problem,

I forgot to mention I always prime them first with a high build primer before laying down the colour.
