im upgrading to stop tech stage two kit even thought my calipers arnt stop tech every thing else is. so i want to have it say so on my calipers. how would i go about painting them balck and leaveing the word and logo of stop tech unpainted .... want kinda of paint sound i use. and anthing thing i didnt think of.


thanks in advance


edit: the word stop tech and logo would be left bare metal

 

Put wax or grease on the areas where you don't want paint to stick.

 

Paint over them then get JVD Graphics to make you some new vinyl ones.

 

um no offense to you but putting stop tech on stock calipers just bc everything else is stop tech is kinda something i wouldnt do. yes your putting on all the other stuff so put a vinyl on your car if you really want ppl to know you have stop tech rotors and pads etc. but a lot of the braking technology is in the calipers from these companys. like project mu pads and rotors are no where near the same as a 7k set of brakes. just my opinion but you could mask it off but your calipers are too small to make it legible anyways really.

 

i figured any one that know somthing about cars would relize i dont have the stop tech calipers, and i relize that the calipers are about the most important part of the braking system.... i just figured that the people that new about that stuff would be like....oh he has stop tech rottors, lines... i do hate how it does seem exactly like i want people to think that i have a fulll stop tech big brake kit. but any one that know s what stop tech is will know that i dont have the full package. and any one that dones not know anything about brakes will just think i have upgraded brakes and judge me by my small rotor size, and say there nice.

not trying to be a posser so you guys let me know if you think this is possing thx

 

yeah dude i wouldnt do it if you want the logo on the carget some stop tech vinyl decals for the car and put em on just behind the wheel well on the fender otherwise itll look poser. i see your logic but itll be the guy who knows something thatll say that car owner doesnt know anything and is just trying to act like he has stop tech brakes. thats what id think if i saw it the first thing that came to mind wouldnt be stop tech stage two itd be umm what was he thinking. just my opinion your car tho but i wouldnt do it.

 

Dont do it. My .02

 

I agree with these guys. Don't do it. If I saw your car, and saw stoptech painted on the calipers, which are obviously not stoptech calipers, I'd think you were a pure ricer. I don't think it would even occur to me that you 'might' have stoptech rotors/lines/pads/etc. If you must let people know you have stoptech products on the car, do the vinyl sticker like these guys are saying. That's my .02.

 

That's like putting a GT-R badge on a non-GT-R.

 

Rice mod don't do it.

 

ok thanks for saveing me the shame of almost riceing out my car. i thought it was close but now its official. deffinatly no stop tech on them now.

but if any one has a set of stop techs just sitting around you can give them to me
love them just can afford them

 

Paint stop tech down the side of the car! In fact, put a sticker of every single mod (you have made and even ones you haven't) on every square inch of the car. That makes the Z look "really" cool. Then people can say "Rice Nide".
