Default Caliper Stickers

I've been searching, and DecalGal doesn't make them anymore, I PM'eD ryanITV to see if he would sell them, and I also found http://www.vinzdecals.com , but does anyone else know anywhere that sells them? Anyone have any pictures of the one's from Vinz?

The vinz set doesn't look right. The S is wrong. They don't stick good either.
There was a thread a couple days ago that had a link to a site... The decals looked good. It's jvd graphics I think.

I've given a sample of decalgirls product to a coworker who has a vinyl cutter. My goal is to make them available for the front and rear calipers in a few basic colors.

I used decalgirls vinyl exclusively for the calipers that I paint (over 25 sets now) and they hold up great. The font is a perfect match and looks much better than the one shown above, in my opinion. I also don't like how they only offer it for the fronts. Looks incomplete.

I think the MATTpics from Vinzdecals look great, how did you get it so smooth?

I think it looks weird on the rear calipers. It looks too much like a decal stuck on rather than the caliper being made to have it there.

I agree about Decal Girl's looking much more OEM.

Why doesn't someone else make these yet?

I actually have them and have had them for some time. I made my fronts and rears and clear-coated (Rears look just like Hockey's) over the decals and caliper to further protect the decal.

Hey I like that.... How did you paint(color?) your caliper or where did you get it done? I spray painted mine but its just been a little over a year now and its starting to come off. And that decals looks good.

You need to sand or grind the caliper first and remove all dirt and oils prior to painting. You can use most any high temperature paint. I personally used Duplicolor caliper spray.

I am guessing that Hockey used G2... Let's see what he has to say regarding his procedures.
