Finally painted calipers
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Used the black Dupli-Color kit.
Pretty easy.
Didn't do too much masking, just took my time.
Also put blue pony decals on the front.
Not a color match to my car, but still looks good to me.

Looks great!
I may have put the decals in the same direction as the calipers, though.

I had the one on the passenger side that way at first.
But after looking at it, it just didn't look right.
Having them run forward looks better to me.
But to each his own.

Looks good!! This is something I've wanted to do to my car for a while now.

Looks awesome... reminds me how I need to repaint mine. Around how much was that kit and where did you get it from?

Posted by: Humboldt Stang

The paint kit was around 18 bucks, found it at Kragen's, so I'm sure it's readily available elsewhere.

Got the decals from XenonMods.com.

For 8 bucks you get 6 each of the following decals.

MUSTANG
COBRA
SVT
and the running pony, which I used.

It lasts for a while. I did mine in read last summer and it's still going strong. I did get a few chips from rocks bouncing up and hitting them, so keep the paint around for touchups.

Geez, I didn't realize this was such a cheap mod. I'll have to give it a shot if I ever get the time to do it.

Here's is a copy of my recent corespondence with them:

Hey there,

I've been telling everyone how great a deal your Mustang caliper decals
are, with the 4 different option per package, and no one can find them
on your site.
Did you discontinue them?

Thanks,

Jim

Their response:

Hi Jim - well it works like this. I, along with many other sellers, have
gotten stopped by Ford/Volvo/Jaguar of selling items with their
trademarks on them.

So, I can't sell a set of the Mustang caliper decals like I used to.

I am working on a way to legally get around the trademark issue, for
instance making a "custom text" section of my caliper decal page so
people can order whatever text they want, including "mustang". As far as
the actual pony logo goes, man oh man - that's gonna be a hard one but I
think I can maneuver around that too.

I'm going to be in talks with their attorneys within the next week about
it all, so don't lose hope. I may even be able to get licensed to sell
them again the way that I was and just pay royalties. I may have a
strong case since caliper decals aren't products that Ford/Volvo/Jaguar
sell anyway.

I'll post something on my caliper decal page for everyone to see.

thanks!
rich
