Went with something I hadn't seen to date on my redline. Red letters on black calipers. Pretty simple to do and I am pleased with how it came out:

Looks great.

How'd you do it, and where did you get the paint?

 

wow, thats VERY nice and classy.

 

Thanks for the compliment. It was far more simple than I thought it would be. I just took each wheel off indepently over the course of the weekend, took the caliper loose, disassembled the caliper components (pads, shims, etc.), took the mounting bracket loose and used the Duracolor black high temperatures spray paint (I think it's good up to 1200°F). Taped (used the purple painters tape which has very little stick but enough) and used newspaper in the wheel well and sprayed the caliper in there so I didn't have to disconnect the brake lines and bleed them later, then sprayed the other components out in the yard.

The trickiest part since I dismounted the caliper was on the rear, I had to raise the suspension to get the bottom caliper mounting bolt out of alignment from one of the suspension members. Thankfully I have 3 floor jacks.

The red 350Z came from JVD Graphics and turned out quite nice. Took a little while to arrive but I was in no hurry and he did a great job on them.

did you use any kind of clearcoat over the stickers? or is it just paint the caliper, let them dry, then put on stickers?

 

I could be wrong , but I thought I'd heard that you clear coat them after sticker is put on

 

Not neceesary.
I didn't.

 

Looks good, much better than I would have thought if someone mentioned it.

 

$15.00 SHIPPED! Thats freaking expensive for a little sticker... MY friend has a machine that does graphics, for something like this he would charge like $3.00... And to ship out what does it cost? A postal stamp? Man if these are the prices people are willing to pay I better go invest on a machine to make lots of money!!
