best way to put text onto standard 1*2 calipers? advice/pics needed.

[Šįk]

as title, interested in re-painting my calipers and putting white text on them like "Renault sport" or something, as you cant seem get any decent good looking calipers for the 1*2s (standard size for 15" wheels) without making a huge faff lol.

so any1 here done it, what did u use and how?, pics, advice needed please.

cheers, piers.

You could get a RenaultSport sticker from ebay

Sticker then clear laquer over the top at a guess.

would it not melt under high temp!?

i put normal stickers on and then high temp laquer over the top of that and they were good for ages

They dont get major hot unless your tracking it

aahhh right ok cool, didnt know this. can you buy the "high temp" laquer from the local halfords? as a paint, not a spray?

cheers/

use the sticker as outline and spray over top as a mask.

I think N!CK_R (think that's his username) has done this to his calipers.

Looks great.

ok cool.

what colour should i do calipers!? wheels being gloss black..?

im thinking either black calipers with white lettering or white calipers with black lettering!??

Don't do white calipers! They look sh*t 5 minutes of driving later, even worse than white wheels.

LOL...

went to a lamborghini garage few weeks back and loved the look of the gloss black calipers against the gloss black wheels.. white text on the calipers! looks class!!

do u think black on black would look smarter!?

 

[Alexander]

^Yes.
