Over the week I printed out some caliper graphics, cut them out with an exacto knife, and then laminated them. Cut out the laminate, and used black caliper paint to dress up my plain red calipers. I could not see paing 20 - 30 bucks for some decals to slap on there, and hope they dont chip or peal off down the road. And this was "pretty much" free. Used items I had laying around the house. All I had was flat caliper paint, but when/ if I re-do it again, I might use gloss. The Trans Am logo was easy..... the bird was a bi**h to do. took a few attempts, but I got it.
What do you guys think??

Rear Caliper:




Front Caliper

 

better then plain red. I want to do this with my ta/hawk black calipers with silver logo or red calipers with black logo

 

Yeah, I seen the Firehawk logo when I googled Firehawk Caliper Decal. You will want it to be curved, so it follows the caliper. Try to look for one, or streach it with paint shop or some other software, so its at least 4 inches long. Easy to do. If you plan on doing it, right click the pic, and print picture. When I did it at home, the print out was about 2 inches long. When I did it at work, it was the full 4 inch design (the Trans AM letters were 4 inches long). On the back calipers you could eaither do the bird, or your build number. If I had a SLP car, I would put the bird on the top half of the caliper, and my build number on the bottom. My rear calipers look unbalanced to me.
I would not use regular printer paper. I would use construction paper, or something thick. I cut a file folder down to regular paper size.

 

Man thats sick!

 

thanks for the tips. It will be a summertime project I'll be sure to post up pics of b4 and after when i do it tho.

 

looks good. i bet that took a while to cut by hand. i've made several sets of decals & stencils for calipers.
