I want to paint my brake calipers sometime this week or next and I'm looking for caliper decals.

 

I'm looking as well. I did some research on line and found a place that will sell the decals and take out the design for stencils, but that the best I've found.

Anyone know where we can get some high temp decals?

 

I found them on VinylDecals.com | Akebono Brake Caliper Decal Set but i don't know if those are the right size for our brakes and i can't measure my brakes right now because i don't have my car :/

 

I got asked this question a lot before and eventually just logged them on the site, so here are my contributions

and

looks like vinyldecals.com is .25" different from your notes dimensions and thanks for the heads up on the clearcoat

 

Those are high temp?

 

I looked at your post after I searched google yesterday. I'm too lazy to paint...just want the stickers. Thanks doing doing the research.

 

yeah they should be because it specifically says that they are for the calipers

 

I question the authenticity of "high temp" vinyl decals mainly because there's nothing high temp about them. At least of all the various brands i've researched, none of them are meant to withstand upwards of 500 degrees -- which i would consider to be in high-temp territory.

 

how hot could the caliper goes? anyone knows?

 

I dont think the outside of the calipers ever get even close to 500.

 

This is true

 

If it was 500 your car would be on fire

 

hahah true

 

Probably not unless you're just flogging the brakes to the point of failure, but it will likely reach the heat ratings of vinyl decal, which isn't much.
