Post White "PORSCHE" lettering on calipers

Where can I buy them? I just painted my calipers red and need a set of stickers. Performance products does't sell them. Thanks.

You could get it done by a decent print company.
There was a thread recently on downloading a Porsche font.

By the way, did you remove the calipers to paint them?

No I did not. I did however, paint all 3 sides (not just the front) I left the lower feed line black..... looks very nice.

I doubt that stickers will work, even if you can find them. The heat will be too great for any adhesive to stick. I have the GT3 calipers and the lettering is stencil painted on. The heat on the front calipers has turned the white letters to yellow.

I painted mine, but no letters. A friend did his, put letters on and then put three coats of clear. Nice gloss and the letters seem to be staying white.

I sent you a picture. Not sure how to post on this forum yet. I've rode beside the Porsche (Mine is Speed yellow) and it they look factory. Most of you know I'm "converting" it over to look like a GT3.

Change file to a jpeg and then click on upload photo and follow instructions.

It would be nice to see the how the red calipers without lettering would look.

Check Robin Sun's DIY page on p-car.com we did it on both his and my car. It's not stickers though but I venture to say that it's perfect. Look at the page to judge. I have many track days on the car and no problems other than the paint turning yellow on the fronts as do the OEM
