does anyone know where i can get any for my calipers, i just painted them and they need a little something more and i think that a white scion or trd decal would be just the thing. Any one know of any?

Any vinyl shop should be able to make something for you. Probably pretty cheap.

would a vinyl shop be able to make something that could deal with all the heat created by the calipers?

Anything else you find out there will be the just the same kind of sticker. I don't think you're going to find any "high temp" decals that would be much different than anything Randode or others would make.

i think what you're going to want to do is get a vinyl made with what you want cut out. Sort of like those letter stencils from way back in the day like kindergarden and what not lol. You're going to want to paint on the logo utilizing a stencil for two reasons:

1) a vinyl WILL NOT hold up to the heat
2) It won't peel or anything like the vinyl would and it'll look more professional

What if you stick the vinyl on there and then coat it with some type of clear coat?

doubt it will work still. You see break dust is very very hard to clean, and keep in mind that you have to have whatever you're adhering the vinyl too almost perfetly clean or it will peel off. And clear coat wont help as far as holding up to the heat. I think your best bet is the stencil idea IMO.. But hey give the vinyl a shot and let us know how it works.

here's what you do...

1) buy those.
2) paint your callies white. mainly worry about the soon-to-be decal area.
3) allow to dry, and lay the vinyl down.
4) paint the whole caliper the color of your choice
5) allow to dry
6) remove the vinyl

* use high-temp paint!

Good Idea CherryBox. We have guys out here that have had vinyl on their Drums and calipers for alomst a year now (white even!) they look fine still.

I did that and I think it turned out very good... here's a pic:

1) a vinyl WILL NOT hold up to the heat


Sure it will. I had a cheap vinyl toyotanation sticker on the valve cover of a 7A-FE for almost 2 years and it didn't change one bit. ...and the valve cover gets WAY hotter than the calipers.
