Just painted my calipers red and added JVD graphics brake caliper stickers.

 

rears

 

where do you get the JVD graphics decals?

 

I got them from Jason, his handle is JVD Graphics. You can just PM him and place your order. They come in white, silver and black. They also can read nissan (front) and 350z (rear) or 350z (front and rear).

 

You'll have to let us know how the paint and stickers hold up. Looks good though, when I saw the post I thought it was going to look too "ricer", but I actually like it.

 

for the infiniti folks, they can also say infiniti and g35, thats what I put on my wife's coupe. Great product at a great price.

 

It looks good but Im so against the whole painting calipers thing, but hell its your whip.

 

Looks good-- and at the right price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've seen your DB vert rolling around town, looks good! I'm in the lowly red 240sx hatch with gold wheels.

 

how did you paint them? How long did it take?

 

You simply dip the whole car in red paint and quickly wash it off everything except the calipers.

 

hahahahaha.

Thats exactly how you do it!

The best caliper paint would be the G2/Folia Tec Caliper Paint kit. You can also paint your calipers with the spray paint kinds available in Autozone/Pepboys type of stores.

The caliper stickers are easy to apply and come in a few styles. I have the stickers for the Infiniti G35s too...

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUTTING ON THE CALIPER STICKERS
First wipe off your calipers with windex or rubbing alcohol to ensure there is no contaminants or brake dust in the way. Wait until your calipers are cold so that if you mess up and need to remove it on a certain part you can. DO NOT do a water/soap mixture, the stickers are too small. They apply really easily, just take your time lining them up. If you have any questions, you know how to contact me.

Feel free to Email me at M3GEclipseRS@aol.com/ IM ME at Birdmn3 / PM me at JVD Graphics if you have any questions. I always reply back very quickly and never ignore anyones messages.

FAQ
Q: Will these stickers melt or burn off?
A: No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are made with a high heat vinyl resistant material that has a longer shelf life than typical vinyl. The greater the heat the greater the bond between the caliper and the sticker.

Q: How long will they last?
A: I have had mine on for over 3 years through New England winters, power washing, rain, sleet, all of the harsh weather elements, and they still look perfect. I think if they are kept in nice shape and taken care of, they will last forever. And for only $15.00, its got to be on the cheapest yet most noticeable modifications around.

Q: How can I contact you?
A: Email (M3GEclipseRS@aol.com) AIM (Birdmn3) PM (JVD Graphics)

Q: Is this for the whole caliper?
A: No, this is JUST the lettering of the caliper. This is just the lettering of the caliper. Let me repeat, THIS IS JUST THE LETTER OF THE CALIPER! haha. You first paint the caliper with caliper paint, and then put the sticker on.

Q: Will these even get noticed?
A: The sticker is an awesome show piece and you will have people from day one and on ask how you did that to your calipers and ask where to buy them. Trust me, I have had them on for over 3 years and every show I go to I am asked or when people stare at my wheels they compliment me on my calipers.

Q: What kind of paint should I get and where?
A: Get caliper paint. Either the cheap $5 can at the Auto Store (Pep Boys, Advanced AutoParts, etc...) or order G2 Caliper Paint online somewhere. (Tirerack.com has the cheapest so far.)

Hope this helps! Be sure to contact me with questions and I will do my best to answer them

 

sweet, i am doing these EXACT same thing today or thurs, great timing to see the pics

 

Do the wheels and/or calipers need to be removed to paint them? I like it!

 

No, you do not have to remove the calipers.

With the G2/Folia Tec Kit, you mix the paint and hardener and start right away after cleaning the calipers.

With the spray paint, I recommend spraying the paint into a cup and paint with a paint brush. And wear a latex glove (dentists glove) when spraying the paint into the cup, I learned the hard way and had paint on my hands for days. hahahaha

Either way works great. I recommend the G2/Folia Tec brand though. It works great!

I used the G2 kit, you can get it at www.tirerack.com for under $40. It works great and has enough paint to apply 3 coats. Here are some tips, 1. paint fast because the paint only really allows about 3 hours of work time then it's too dry to work with 2. buy you own brush, as the one it comes with sucks. Also make sure the brush you buy has hairs that will stay on the brush. Good luck

 

I did the same thing shortly after I took delivery of my car at the recommendation of my s2k friend.

It looks cool, but what this has done, ultimately...

is hasten my desire to upgrade to Endless or Rotora brakes.

And stop looking like a complete tool.

My plans...

Keep the rear's stock with blue caliper paint and upgrade the rotors.

Fronts...full upgrade (blue).

I also have Z-Xtreme's grounding kit in the box (blue wires) and plan on a couple of other blue highlights (some engine and some interior).

I'm driving an SS ZR in case you were wondering.

 

I did this mod on my bmw.....the most important thing in the whole process is to have your calipers as clean as possible. I spent like 35 min on each caliper scrubbing the crap out of it. I used the folia tec paint and it looked just like his pics and lasted perfect for the year and a half i had my car after painting. Just follow the directions on the box, its easy.

 

Mine have been painted for About a year. No probs at all. I also have one of the first sets of The JVD caliper stickers. They hold up Very well, and look great.

 

Still looking great Chazzg!

Everyone, I still have WHITE, BLACK, and SILVER available in both styles so be sure to contact me if interested.
