Caliper Decals (?)

ZsX5o2 · Fri, Mar-20-2009, 02:47:41 AM

Haven't been able to find a reference to these anywhere else. I plan to refinish my calipers in black when my new rotors arrive. I was wondering if maybe these decals would fit over the ///M indentations in the calipers.

Thought it might add a unique look, anyone have them?

I have no clue most people I know paint and clear it to fill out the grooves.

But bump for those Fikse wheels.

thanks that's exactly what I was thinking. supposedly they're capable of handling high temps.

Just paint the logo with high temperature paint, thats what I did with mine and it took all of about 5 mins for each caliper. You won't have to worry about the sticker peeling off..

Just use Testors plastic model paint for the real ///M colors. I did this to my calipers well over 15K miles ago and still look like it was done yesterday...

I know this was an old post but noticed you're still active on the forum. How has this held up over the years? Did you use any high temp clear over the Testor's paint?
