Anyone have a source for oem caliper decals? I am getting my calipers painted and want new decals, thanks.
I purchased some from eBay but are not the right size, close but not perfect.

the front stickers are bigger then the back stickers

you can also get stickers that are round not straight

nice colour

Autosport7

Thanks. Not the most original as I have seen others with this color, but on white, I am thinking it may be my best option. I am excited for it as I think it will really stand out behind those oem wheels.

solekeeper

order decals yet?

Autosport7

I have not, but thinking I may go with the arched decal.

solekeeper

are the arched one available w/o the label of carbon ceramics?

and what site are you choosing?

Autosport7

Whats up bro,

The OEM ones are not decals, they are pad printed on every calliper for longevity.

If you have a vector file you can have any vinyl shop shape and cut them for you in any size etc.

I figured the oem's weren't decals, but more or less looking for the oem size decals to put on and clear over once I get them painted.
I will see how the ones I just ordered look when they come in.

solekeeper

keep us posted.

Good find...these look like a quality item.

This is the way to do it. When I painted my brake calipers, I had a vinyl shop vector file a stencil and then took the stencil to the paint/body shop. The body shop used the stencil to paint on the AMG decal on top of the painted calipers. Then they clear coated the whole thing. This way, you don't have to worry about the AMG lettering ever coming off or fading like a sticker may down the line.

solekeeper

what is a vector file? This sounds complicated lol...

The vinyl/sticker/tint shop will know what's up. It's basically how graphic files are created so they won't be pixelated when blown up to serve our cars vs. pixel based files. (We use vector files in the software to create these graphics)

My decals have arrived. Quality seems great! Size appears to be minimally larger than oem but can't really tell until I get my wheels off.
I am happy with my purchase.

solekeeper

sweet, now let's see how they hold up to abuse...

How do these look on the calipers? And do you have pics? Would also like to know where you got the gold paint, as I'm considering the same. Thx.
