Decal Overlay for Nissan Brakes

RedBullRR · 10-04-2011, 10:07 AM

After debating powder coating my brakes for a while I realized I really like the color as it stands. Wish I could just change the letters colors. Does anyone know of a place online I can order decals for the OEM Sport Package Brakes? Want to cover the Nissan Silver with Nissan in red.

Any help/advice would be great, thanks.

you would probably have to apply the overlay and then clearcoat it again so it doesnt just come off. Mike would be the best person to ask this though.

I have some... PM me.

I have vinyl stickers on my calipers. They have been on since July and still look perfect. I drive the car everyday.. rain or shine.. no issues. Use as a sticker, or as a stencil.

^ Thats what I'm looking for only for it to say Nissan and my choice of color. LOL I wanted to overlay the silver lettering with Red.

TypeOne · 10-06-2011, 02:28 PM

I could potentially make that happen... Can you get me the sizes?

Mike the powdercoater has a bunch of them saying both 'Nissan' or 'Akebono'.

He offers different colours as well, I bought off of him and was very pleased with the result.

This....

Mike · 10-13-2011, 08:18 PM

Yeah, I can help you out. What I recommend is what I did when I was using a set of stock calipers waiting for my stoptechs to come in.

It would be close to impossible to cut them exact to size and position them perfectly so the lighter letters don't show through. What I did and can do for you is mount the red letters on black vinyl and then cut it slightly larger and you can place it as a one piece sticker on it and completely cover the silver. You can hardly tell the black is there.

25 shipped.
hit me up with a pm to order

I want it!

Payment Sent, Letters in Solid Red woot woot!

Ron · 10-18-2011, 12:19 PM

Hey Mike, what about making the letters just a little bit bigger so that they cover the original ones better?

ClemsonWill · 10-18-2011, 01:37 PM

Mike, I really like this concept. Is there any way you can use the stock brake caliper color instead of black just to make them blend that much better?
