I just bought a black G2 kit to paint my stock GT calipers on my black car. I'm thinking maybe I should have went with a red or other color to make them stand out more, but this is just temporary until I buy a Brembo kit anyway. Does anyone know if they sell a Ford Racing or Ford Performance decal kit for brakes? I've only seen ones that say Mustang. I'm assuming it would be pretty cheesy to use a Brembo decal on the stock 14" GT calipers right? I was told by a few people that Brembo made the 14" calipers as well for Ford, but I found that to be wrong when I seen the Ford stamp on the back of it.

I hoped for exactly this... looked for Ford Performance/Racing but didn't have much luck

I couldn't find them either. I'm wondering if there is a way to print out your own, or have a place make them. Ford Racing or Performance stickers would look cool on the stock GT calipers. I'm tempted to print them out on some t-shirt transfer paper, cut them out, and try to apply them with a heat gun to the calipers.

I just got some black pony vinyl caliper stickers I think off Ebay for a couple bucks. Brakes need something to break them up, figure they'll do for a time.

I know a lot of other Ruby Red owners are painting their calipers Ruby Red, but what other colors would go with the car? I know black would, but that is so close to the stock (esp with the brake dust).

If you don't want to do RR or black and still keep it stock looking that's kinda hard. Maybe a silver with red Brembo lettering?
I'd probably just do black with red lettering if I had a RR.

I have decided to paint my calipers using the G2 paint. I'm going to go with Lime green. Has anyone else used this color before? I am anal about matching colors so I'm worried it won't exactly match the pin stripes.

Also, can you remove the caliper paint if needed?

I'd assume you could probably sand it down some and paint over it again if needed?
