Anyone done a powdercoat job on these so that they look really authentic?

 

The auction ended on the previous link, so I thought I would post up a current link for the auction for anyone who wanted it.

Mercedes Benz AMG Brake Caliper Decal Sticker Set of 5:eBay Motors (item 170353767120 end time Aug-04-09 00:19:04 PDT)


Calipers are getting painted yellow and getting CF decals this weekend... Hope it looks good on my Black SRT. Someone feel free to photoshop that if you have extra time

 

Glad to see someone else doing the yellow calipers...I order my stickers from that guy on ebay today.

 

My project yellow caliper/yellow slasher stripes on the SSB is complete...uploading pic in a few!!

 

foam brush and some lacquer thinner worked well for us.

 

Thanks for the info on "Caliper Decals", I have been looking for them.

Great Pictures, exactly what I intend doing, Same colors. TERRYR

 

I didn't like any of the typical red/yellow/blue/green/etc colors with my Aero Blue factory paint, so I did mine in semi gloss black and then added silver Chrysler logo decals to them.

 

I agree Mike, keep it subtle! Mine are a nice shad of Gray courtesy of Rustoleum Hammered paint. I'd sure like to know where you got your stickers!

i like the red, but def, could see the gray now with our new wheels. I also love the Chrysler on the semi blk ones Mike-in-orange did. Mike's look really classy.....nice.....

 

mike,
where did you get the "Chrysler"?

 

Thanks for the compliments. I grabbed an .eps file of the Chrysler logo of the ol' interwebs, gave it a bit of an arc in Illustrator, then brought the file to a little custom decal shop at a nearby mall. Piece of cake. I think I've still got the image in a few different file formats, all at 100% size. PM me if you want 'em so I can either email them in a .zip file or post 'em up on a server and give you download link (don't think I can attach .zip files to a post here).

 

Just painted my Brake Calipers on my Alabaster Roadster. Decided on Red with some AMG stickers. I didn't want to start dismantling the brakes to spray them so decided just to brush paint, about 4 coats. I think they look GOOD. Opinions. ??

Looks very good TerryR..I especially like the MB logo on the rocker panel.

 

How long are you letting the car set after brushing on the paint?
