Tesla Decal for Caliper Paint Project

[kevincwelch]

Awesome! High temp paint? Are you going to put on a TESLA decal?

 

[Rbats]

Where does one get the high temp decals now? That eBay link earlier in the thread seems to be dead now. Thanks.

OK...following this thread is cool, but I would like one straight answer.......where can I get the lettering and the T on calipers...at one time? I looked on the Ebay seller site and what I saw was a close representation of the E in tesla, but not right. Can anyone suggest where to get the 6 TESLA stickers and the 2 T's?
much thanks

Here is the current eBay link for the Tesla brake decals:

These decals do not match the OEM. The "E" is different. Where can we get an exact match?

I just bought a set. They were able to do OEM font for me and also make the logo that goes on the parking brake. Excellent customer service!

Mine have the correct "E". However I can no longer find anyone selling them on eBay.

Calipers and parking brake done. Awesome customer service and speedy shipping too! The listing shows a different font but they will do OEM if you request.

I want to paint my calipers myself but I don't have a readily available method of lifting the car. I've been looking for scissor lift rentals but haven't found one yet. Any advice?

I also got these from the same retailer. I specified in the instructions to send the stickers with the OEM font, not the ones in the display. I received 4 T logos for the emergency brake as well as 15 TESLA stickers - one set curved, one small and one large. They look great.

Unfortunately, it's 9 degrees outside. I'll be doing this in the spring.

BTW strengthcoach4, did you spray a clearcoat over the decals?

I got the same decal set except I asked for all straight. I wouldn't know what to do with a curved set...
Yes, clear coat over the decals

also received the same set yesterday! highly recommend this ebay seller. i didnt think to ask for all straight however. the 4 T logos was a nice touch. did anyone elses get shipped with aping pong ball in the bag??

 

[kevincwelch]

I got the ping-pong ball!

 

[strengthcoach4]

I didn't get a ball...The parking brake logos are a tad bigger than original, I thought I measured 1"x1" when I sent it to him. No matter, looks great and stands out better. Hopefully he sells enough decals to get his own MS soon.

Hi guys.
Soon my model S will be delivered.
Mo will also paint my calipers. However I don't want stickers on them.
So I will make masking stickers in the same font and size as the original text and parking brake logo's.
They will be computer cut.
After painting, I will use them to spray paint the text and logo's.
Than a clear coat of heat resisting clear coat.
That should be it.
If there are more people interested, let me know, so I can order more masking stickers.
B rgds.

I can print you a few. Just e mail me [email protected]

I ordered some white Tesla decals for my brake calipers but they never sent them. Are you still producing these? I'll pay you for them. Thanks!

Does anyone know where to get the right decals for brake calipers and emergency brakes. I emailed the ebay guy referenced in this discussion above ( 15 Tesla Brake Caliper Decal Sticker Set Choose from 7 Colors Free Shipping | eBay ) if he can send me OEM design rather than what we see on his listing and did not hear back.

So here are the dimensions of the lettering:

Factory front caliper lettering: 9/32" x 3 3/4"
Factory rear caliper lettering: 7/32" x 3"
Decals from eBay seller: 14/32" x 3 7/8"

I think that the taller letters from the eBay seller actually look better for the front calipers, but they do not fit on the rears. So I emailed the seller requesting that he make them in 11/32" x 3 1/8". These will fit the rear calipers and are proportional to the lettering he sent that fits the fronts. I got a message from him today with the USPS tracking # for the smaller decals, so I expect to receive them in a few days. Great response by the eBay seller!
