You can do it if you want, but you're fooling yourself if you think it will look as clean as, say, the famous Porsche red calipers.
I painted the brakes on my old Firehawk, that had rough cast cailpers using the G2 kit. The paint is a little thick and self-leveling, so it does a good job of filling in the rough cast finish. Here is a link to a fairly close-up shot: http://www.fbodyaddict.com/carofmonth/nov03/wheelb.jpg

They obviously wont come out super smooth, but they do come out looking nice, IMO. I plan to do the calipers on my new Z as well.

Question, who makes the 350z caliper decals?

Hey guys,

Its Jason from JVD Graphics. I am the one who offers the JVD Graphics caliper stickers.

If you are interested in purchasing a set, I have now decided after my long time success with these caliper stickers, to permanently lower the price to only $10 shipped! Compared to the original $15 shipped. Plus, I am including extra stickers with each order. This is my way of thanking every customer for their continual support and encouragement with my business.

I dont frequent the boards often due to time, but if you are interested, go ahead and visit my site and email me at sales@jvdgraphics.com or jvdgraphics@gmail.com to order.
-Jason
