What you guys think?

kopacko · 07-27-2005, 03:22 PM

Ugh, ignore my tires, spray on cleaner. Getting ready for NOPI this weekend.

mstrpotatohd · 07-27-2005, 03:35 PM

I like em, but shouldn't the pony be running forward... not backwards?

pic18 · 07-27-2005, 03:37 PM

Especially since the 40th anniversary logo is so close.

I bet he's kicking himself for putting them on the wrong side. Other then that, looks good

gfong · 07-27-2005, 04:20 PM

Looks good man.

mestes1999 · 07-27-2005, 05:39 PM

Where'd you get those? Did you paint them first and just add the horsey stickers?

kopacko · 07-27-2005, 08:13 PM

Oh ****....he is backwards....gahhhhh!!!!!!!!

Yes, I painted them with high temp engine block paint. I bought the decals off ebay.

Put the decals on, then sealed them with high temp clear coat.

Nice mod and the painted cailpers look nice like the Bullit ones.

Sapperstang · 07-28-2005, 07:00 AM

Backwards and I am sure it won't last there for long. That is a dirty, hot environment for a decal.

GRB60 · 07-28-2005, 07:41 AM

I like 'em, but they'll slow you down since they're running against the forward motion of the car. You'll lose 1 horsepower from each wheel, for a total of 4.

kopacko · 07-28-2005, 08:39 AM

GRB60, ahahahah....

Sapper, several of my buddies have done the same thing with theirs and have no problems. Its all how you seal it. I put 4 coats of clear coat on it.

YellowMenace · 07-29-2005, 12:02 PM

I guess I misunderstood. You actually painted the caliper orange and applied the decal?

If so, the heat will get to it quickly. You should paint the caliper black (high temp paint), put on the decal, then paint the caliper orange(hi temp paint again), carefully peel off the decal, paint on high temp sealer. that would probably hold up.

kopacko · 07-29-2005, 03:14 PM

That is what I did, painted the calipers, applied the decal, sealed. Took photo

Like I said, several of my buddies in a local car club have done it with script letters and logos for their car type and have had no issues.

G · 07-29-2005, 04:57 PM

I painted mine but now have the hi-temp stickers for another hot application. I have seen them on a few GT's and they do fine.

fordnut02 · 02-29-2012, 06:10 PM

like to see more pictures if anyone else in using the decals !!!

vertigyn · 02-29-2012, 06:41 PM

Looks good - just running the wrong way =)

A buddy of mine did this on his GT - just printed the horse logo from online, xacto knifed it out, painted the caliper white, then put the printed/cut logo on the caliper with honey, painted the caliper red, let dry, rinsed off the honey stuck logo, then cleared the caliper. Worked well in his case.
