I just bought new calipers, remanned, actually. They don't have the brembo stickers. Anybody got some they want to sell? Bought some off ebay for 5 bucks, and let's just say you get what you pay for, and I won't be installing those.

Anybody in the PNW got a hookup?

Thanks in advance -

the face.

 

Which decal set on eBay did you purchase? The vinyl will need to be able to withstand high temperatures. Did you try ordering it from this seller? He has received positive feedback from people who have purchased the sticker for evo's.

Cheers,

 

Have you tried to maybe make a stencil of the ebay ones?

 

I got these ones, http://www.ebay.com/itm/BREMBO-HI-TE...sories&vxp=mtr

and they look like ****. Hehe.

 

There is no "high temp" vinyl that I know of. I did the $10 ebay ones and they have held up for over a year.

 

Vinyl labels subjected to high temperatures (usually above 70 degrees Celsius) will degrade over time. Melting is one example of vinvyl degradation, but I would expect actual problem is the surface area of the vinyl shrinking in size with repeated exposure to high temperatures.

I actually had the opportunity to participate in a polymer chemistry project during my undergrad years. At the time, there was one grad student working on finding additives (types of heat stabilizers) to use for protecting polyvinvyl chlorides in very high temperatures.

Not the most interesting project in the world, but nevertheless not all vinyl is created equal...

Moral of the story is... Vinyl labels that can withstand high temperatures DO exist.

 

I have no idea if the link you have posted is indeed "legit" vinyl labels that can be used in a high-temp application, but if they look like ****, I would look elsewhere. Can you ask for a refund?

Hope it all works out for you.

 

Look for the user Turdxferguson or xturdferguson. Ryon has a vinyl cutter and I think has made a few of these in the past. I haven't seen him on the forums in awhile, but IM me if you can't get ahold of him.

 

Thanks for all your help guys. Really appreciate it! I'll try to get in touch with Turdxferguson and see what happens.

 

Do they exist in the $5-10 ebay grey-market?

That was more to the (implied) point.

For the right price nearly anything can exist. Pretty sure that F1 uses some very high temp vinyl or adhesives. Of course, a steering wheel costs $20,000+, lug nuts cost $4,000 and rims are $6,000 (each) in F1, so perhaps that should be taken with a grain of salt?

 

"There is no high temp vinyl that I know of. I did the $10 ebay ones and they have held up for over a year."

It would help me understand what you are implying if you can be more specific next time. I was under the impression that you were not sure if high temp vinyl exists... period. Thus is why I added in my .02 stating that high-temp vinyl exists and so the OP should look into it.

It's not rocket science. Just sharing my experience in the field and posting some information to help people gain some knowledge. I think its what makes public forums a good resource. People have interesting perspectives/experience/knowledge they can share with the public and it can enlighten some people, or not.

Cheers,
