Guest KraZ4spd Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 I am painting my calipers with the G2 paint system. I would like to put 'HYBRID Z' on the caliper. Something like this ...... I think this would add a nice detailed look to my Z. Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? I've thought about a stencil and a little bit of paint, but what kind would work? May be even a polished plate, but how to attach? Oh Ya, I have the 4x4 brake conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Copy places like Ginny's or Kinkos can make paint stencils, I think. That's what I'd try. Just shoot some paint over the stencil, bang, done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thurem Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 How 'bout having them engraved, maybe the guy at the mall who makes signs for your desk and door. Just an idea. Thure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 I'd rather paint LOVE on one caliper and HATE on the other. Summing up the relationship I have with my Z at times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 i used to do the engraving at a gift store, they could do it since those are billet alum. right? yeah our engraver would slice them things up like butter. i would get "BRAKE YOURSELF" on one caliper and "BOSSOLINI" OR "FETTUCINE CAPONE" on the other one in army stencil letters, just me i guess, or even maybe "made you look" nice brakes.

Cruez Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 If you are good with a dremel, you could make a slight impression in the caliper and fill the void with whatever paint you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Yeah maybe a little tongue in cheek and put 'Bembo' on the caliper, most wouldn't even notice I bet... Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Lone, They wouldn't notice that they aren't real, or that they are spelled wrong? AFAIK I thought it was Brembo... but then maybe that's what you meant, they would think they are, and not notice... so maybe I'm just an idiot Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 Don't feel bad, ZGimp, I was over-analyzing that one too. So, Nemesis, would you be annoyed if some of us (... ME ...) stole your idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KraZ4spd Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I wouldn't care if anybody stole my idea. I mean we all feed off each other for the ultimate ride, right? GO FOR IT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 i can have calipers made with any color or writing.. i would need to order 20 pairs of the same model and same color and they will cnc anything i want in the side... "rice" "hybrid" i dont think they'd do "bembo" but that would be hilarious to see at a carshow powdercoat them red and put"bigRed" on them- then tell everyone that these are REAL big reds see thats what it says right on them! although dont stickers add HP? save the time painting and put a sticker on it - car will be faster and stop better too..
