What did you use to get the \"mazda\" logo on there? I hope it\'s high heat or it\'s gonna melt onto it...

I\'m pretty sure that part of the caliper won\'t get hot enough to melt anything.

Wow, kudo\'s for originality, that looks really good. I just hope it lasts, cause if it starts to peel it won\'t look so great:(

MazdaTree, that looks awesome, I think you helped me make my decision to paint mine too because of all the surface rust. I just don\'t know what colour would look good on a Sunlight Silver. I like the Mazda symbol as well.:D

thanks for all the good words guys...

and yes one of the reasons i did it was to get rid of the rust on the calipers it looked ugly and cheap imo. the rust may not have been noticable too much but i noticed them and the rust buggggged me:D

Just a word of advice to those who are planning to paint or have painted the calipers...

when you get your brakes changed, don\'t be surprised if you see the paint all chipped up. I got my rear pads replaced, and my back calipers are showing quite a bit of metal spots now. I\'ll have to repaint them.
