When I painted my toyota 4-pistons, back in the day, I painted them red. Then I made a "Z" template out of card stock, and sprayed a silver "Z" on the outer face of the caliper. It looked great. I don't have photos handy, and I sold the calipers on ebay a few years ago.


hope you don't mind me stealing this idea. i am looking to put the toyota calipers on my Z and i like that idea. except mine will be blue but i like the idea of painting the Z on there. 8)

I don't consider it theft, more like flattery. :lol: I wish I still had the "Z" templates, I would offer them to you.

Sorry to wake up an old post but in going through my photo dvd collection, I located a photo of the Toyota 4 piston calipers I had painted red with a Z logo.
