Hey guys, I just got my Saleen (StopTechs) Re-powder Coated and want to put the a new Saleen Sticker back on but I want to make sure it stays --> So I was thinking of putting it on the putting some clear over it...

Would this Work? If not, What is the best Option?

 

COME ON guys PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

 

You may want to call Eric at StopTech and ask him. I have no clue what clear coat will stand up to the heat of a caliper.

 

I know that is why I am questioning doing it??? I appreciate the help though.

 

How about doing a Google search on 'clear spray paint for brake calipers'..

I would call the manufacturer first to see if they recommend taking the caliper apart to powdercoat.

Dear Brembo doesn't, and they don't offer a rebuild kit, so I don't know if the Brembo Calipers I powdercoated will be usable at all!!! There goes $550 down the drain (plus the cost of powdercoating).

CALL AND MAKE SURE FIRST!!!

 

The 'SALEEN' is not a sticker, it's more like paint/etched on.

 

So I sent the Calipers out to StopTech Dealer and they took care of the taking apart and Powder Coating As for the "Saleen" Logo I talked to SMS and they sent me the Sticker they use...

I thought the Same thing Bill...

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! Went to the Auto parts store but didn't try the easier thing 1st....

 

Wierd, I sent Stoptech an email about this a while back and they told me it's not a decal. Go figure.

Glad you got it resolved.

 

Hahaha, why am I not surprised about this... To be honest I would believe you over the Tech I talked to any day of the week.

And it's too late anyways b/c I already got them re-powder Coated So I have these Stickers and I will post Pics once I do a little hi temp Clearing...

 

I'm suprised it's a decal too. I figured a decal would not handle the heat generated by the brakes.

 

Trust me I thought They were going to say something along those lines.... I mean if you feel over the caliper it feels completely smooth so I the more I think about it the more I am thinking this guy is Wrong...

 

I found the e-mail they sent me about it...

Bill-

The logo is silk screened with high temp paint and baked, it is not really possible to remove without damaging the black finish underneath. The only option I can think of would be to very carefully block sand the logo with as little contact as possible to the black and then try to polish it out.

Thanks Bill! Maybe I just got a random Number and they were just jerking me around.

 

Sounds about right to me.

I can't wait to get my kit installed

 

Yes, post pics !! Hopefully everything will work out..

 

I will post pics but now I am thinking twice about putting the Stickers on then putting Hi Temp clear over them??? What will happen when the stickers melt but there is clear over them????

 

why didnt you just get the Saleen logo powdercoated on? I have the brembo's in black with tungsten lettering. or at least really close to tungsten.

 

I was afraid they wouldn't get the lettering right and that it would look like crap...
