Just bought my 5 lug convertion! Now I want to paint the calipers! How to?

[Starscream88]

Excited

Got my 5 lug convertion sorted for the front wheels

Now I want to paint the calipers, and I want to put the white running pony on it like the bullitt calipers

I seen someone online a while back selling the little decals, Apparntly if you do a good job of painting first and use clearcoat it dosent melt the decal,

Anyone got the link?
I lost it

However the paint is going on no matter what lol,
Im thinkning Blue, with a white running pony,
My Cars Black, the wheels will be 99 Cobras in silver,

Heart isnt set on blue so dont start with the ricer crap,
Id go black too, infact I do like the black idea just the same as blue, With the white running pony im sure it would look nice

So fire away, and pics please from people who have done the 5 lug convertion and anyone (4 lug or 5) who have painted there calipers

Thanks

use an air chisel or needle gun to descale em really good if necessary, sandblast if you can, and use DupliColor high heat paint... That stuff doesn't come off until you manage to heat the steel up to glowing red.

and blue is fine it's only ricey if you use spindly 22 inch rims and slotted and crossdrilled rotors.

plus several more kits are available... I searched for mustang caliper decal

Also, I've seen the caliper paint kits at Walmart and the other auto supply places. Don't know if they are just trying to make some extra money, or if the paint actually is any better than the regular high temp ceramic paint that Walmart sells.

Thomas I think ill officially crown you the lifesaver of Stang Net!

Thats exactly what I was talking about and I knew id seen them somewhere,
Cant belive it was ebay

But ive been waiting for the 5 lug convertion to do it

Anyone got any pics of there painted calipers?
Still undecided on blue or black,

I'm doing disc conversion on my 88 LX. Should be a sweet setup. Probably will end up going with the theme of Black. Whenever I finish that up i'll post pics.
