painted caliper decal - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am going to paint my calipers G2 red and wonder what my options are for a label

I will not put on "brembo" bc they are not brembo brakes.

The some 'vettes have "corvette" written across their calipers, but us Camaro ppl already have our model label right on the fender.

I was considering having the word "CHEVROLET" in white block text to match "camaro" but in a cheap MS paint render it still looks too like much. In designing my car I prefer simplicity for the most pronounced effect.

up close:

Haven't seen any bow-tie caliper decals, but what what else is out there? VinzDecals.com will make any word (lol). Any ideas? Thanks!

I wanted to see how decals would look on my calipers too. Then I realized, 1. they're too small to get noticed and 2. the only thing that could go on there [tastefully] is a Chevy logo or "CAMARO" which IMO is redundant. I went with no decal and left it green.

sweet! i will probably get mine done next week ...pix to come

I think i will order this to put on the red calipers:

oriented straight like:

...I am also getting curved with the package. I am leaning towards straight because it is a "make" not "model" label & in the case of the higher end sports car companies i.e. Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, they apply the company name straight
