It is most likely a sticker unless he made some kind of mazdaspeed stencle. Looks pretty rad. Not sure that sticker will last long though

[clos561]

yea its a sticker. got the idea form someone on the forums. if it doenst ill get more and clear coat them

[UHATEIT]

wow that's super clean, did you do it with the calipers still on there or did you take the calipers loose from the rotor and remove the brake pads?

did you use any adhesive shiz or just high temp paint and call it a day? I am pondering red as well or even silver. Yours looks great!

[clos561]

dupli color red, comes with brake cleaner and u dont have to remove the calipers. $14.99 at auto part store. i ordered the stickers online.

i cant wait to see that shit rollin

Where did you get the stickers? I'm trying to do the same thing but with gold and black to go with gold rims

What color would look good on a Cosmic Blue Speed?

[clos561]

try to match the cosmic blue, liek a baby blue

[UHATEIT]

seeing how you have nothing in the cracks on the first picture, did you get any on the pads or rotors?

[clos561]

i taped off the rotors, some got on the backside of the pad but that doesnt really matter. when i chagne brakes that will be brand new

[supergoose]

I did the same thing except my mazdaspeed sticker is in black. Anyway, it has been on for over a year and no problems at all with it coming off, peeling or anything. Looks good!!!

[clos561]

good to know, even with car washes and stuff? u can spray the stickers and no problem?

[SHAGwagn]

pretty kool :)

[Bonafide_Spd3]

That is what I want to do later when I get some rims. I'm gonna get black rims and spray paint the calipers a light blue color. I think it will be realy clean

[Antoniogut]

i repainted them though but dont have pics they are now black with red mazdaspeed

To the O.P. did you get the curved or straight decals?

[clos561]

its the same font, just mine are curved

[Moultese]

I ordered some today. I'm going to paint my calipers black and have red text. Only it's not going to say "MAZDASPEED." I'm doing something a little custom. :D

[clos561]

Do 2 coats. Do a red coat and than put the sticker over it when its dry. Than do a black coat and pull off the sticker. SHould look pretty damn good at that point.
