78143, Brake Calipers Painted Posted by FlyinEsi, Oct-24-04 05:22 AM
Finally...took quite a while yesterday to wait for all the paint to dry, but I think it turned out really good.
They are VDT Racing Red brake caliper painted. Hope you like them.
Whole car, kind of hard to see

I still don't know where you all get that lettering. So...uuhhhh.....where'd you get it :)

I wanted to do black, but while I was standing at Autozone I thought black would just be too boring, and you wouln't be able to see anything.
So at the last second I changed my mind and grabbed the red.
Edit: The lettering is from that crazy canadian, Blizair.

looks good. I hope you clear coated after the stickers went on. Mine looked good for awhile but now the stickers are starting to come off and arent very bright. Im thinking about painting mine red instead of black as well.

I didn't clear coat at all, this brake paint didn't need it. But I suppose over the stickers would be helpful.
Oh well, we'll see how long they last.

are those just some sort of decal on the caliper? If so are they just plain decals or special kind for the calipers? Where would I pick some up at?

I do make them. The decal has been on my calipsers for over 6 months and now it's BAKED on there. Won't come off.don't worry Dan! (plus I gave you 2 sets :P)
Yea guys if you want them def let me know. $6 paypal and I'll send em out. Just put in what color you want and that's it. White is def. the best to show up on any color calipers BTW

You can only put them on the front. The rear calipers are too small and too rigid to put the stickers on there.

If not, it takes him less than a day to make them and ship them. You just have to wait a couple extra days for them to get across the border.
