Orange Fury themed modifications

[mavisky]

Looking specifically for Orange Fury or "close" splitter letters but all I've been able to find is just "Orange".

I got the emblem overlay from that website and this is the orange fury color they offer. I’m assuming the orange fury lettering for the splitter will be the same is this. The color is pretty close to orange fury just maybe a tad more orange than the paint

Cool, thanks for the link.

I always thought these would look good with paint matched calipers and black brembo lettering.

Totally agree, but with the metallic in the paint it's going to require having the brakes removed and painted to match as opposed to something simple like the G2 caliper painting system I fear. Still half tempted to send them the paint sample to see what they can do with it though.

The calipers don't get a lot of direct sunlight, I'd bet the G2 paint matching line would look close enough that most don't notice. Ruby Red is similar and I was pretty happy with the results...even though it's not a perfect match.

Good point and very impressed with how well the paint has held up to the torture you've put it through. Did you need 1 kit or 2 for all 4 of your calipers?

I've been highly impressed with it. Only thing that got it was brake fluid. It finally started to peel on the back calipers from my repeated brake fluid bleeds. I still recommend it for the DIYer, though.

Oye, apologies for not answering that part.

I used 1 kit. More than enough. I'd recommend splitting it in 2. Only a finite working time. Only mix half, do you coats. Then mix the second. I could have added another coat, but it dried on me. Boo

Thanks to the re-assuring words of @honeybadger I went ahead and bit the bullet on the G2 caliper paint/epoxy/whatever. Very happy with the color match. No metallic in the finish obviously, but the base vs base color match was very well done.

Results look good so far. Big update to come later with some of the other work I've done on color matching stuff with more stuff on the way.

That looks incredible! Eggscellent choice! Seriously look incredible. Can't wait to see a wide shot of the car now!
