Reply With Quoteyou could just paint the calipers once and get decals that go over it. a quality decal, will last longer than the paint on the caliper.
One of the best easy mods you can make....
first thing your going to need is your 2 cans of spray paint....
2nd thing your going to need is one decal sticker kit... (I Got mine at Pep-boys for like $5.00)
1st: Jack up your car and take the wheel off....
2nd: Grab a Bunch of newspapers and cover EVERYTHING but your caliper...
3rd: Letter Color: (I Chose silver) Spray your caliper and let dry.
4th: Place stickers one the caliper (Try to make them as even as possible)
5th: Spray your caliper again with the stickers on it. LET DRY!
6th: Becareful!!! Take the stickers off with a razor blade or a small screw driver.
and thats it.... simple yet eye catching... easy modd for the noobz
NOTE: DO NOT RUSH THE PROCESS THE MORE PRECISE YOU ARE THE BETTER THE OUT COME...
AND LIKE ALWAYS I'M NOT HELD RESPONISBLE FOR YOUR MESS-UPS.

my galant is on the site
i already posted it krispy... swift one
yea but thats boring and unorginal
Yea prolly cuz u took the time to do it that way... aaannnnd you didnt know the stickers already existed!
And the font on the stickers are better 8)
what kind of paint did you use? its gotta be resistant to high temps right
I'm hoping... caliper paint
You don't actually need high temp paint for calipers on a road car.
Mine were sprayed with normal spraypaint for ages and it never peeled off or anything.

:smt014 Come on.. Lets get along.. Everyone has their own styles and opinions... No one is wrong here.. Just like TYC altezzas and JDM's.. Everyone to their own opinions..
I used the caliper paint kit for mines.... Didnt wanna get the outside of the hawk pads dirty...lol
I Don't Really Care what you think personally... all i got was complements so i don't give a S#$6t what your view is... sorry buddy
This is my thread... If your such a wounder make one yourself.
Nice idea, I wish I could use the "Galant" font (they have a fontface you can download).
def too much hostility on the boards these days, people are just voicing their opinions.
whats the need for such hostile environment here, after all this IS a Galant forum for Galant lovers
Thats how the pros paint caliper letters eh??
i actually like the paint idea vice the stickers...paint is really smooth and looks like it's supposed to be there. and stickers look like they were put on. also they can accumulate dirt on the edges that will never clean up like new. good job dude...and thanks to the others that gave the sticker link because that IS a cool font - i'll just use the paint method with the stickers that have the cool font.
SOLD.
