I purchased the G2 red enamel paint system with spray adapter and will remove and paint my base model calipers. While I could hand paint the Jaguar insignias in white, I was wondering if anyone has used heat resistant stickers?

I’m pretty resourceful at finding accessories but figured I would ask here if anyone knows whether the appropriate size lettering is available for the base model calipers. Thank you.

 

I have used various caliper decals over the years on my XFS, XFR and F-Type and never had a problem with any of them.
They have all been extremely tough and fade/damage free, even when not clear coated over.
I have had them on my F-Type for 2.5 years now with no clear coat and they still look like new.
Make sure you get the "modern" Jaguar lettering with the "big foot" on the J as opposed to the old lettering with a little foot on the J.
Here is one seller I found with the right lettering: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6-x-NEW-...wAAOSw0SJbARJq
Three long ones and three short ones, even the long ones should fit OK on the 355 mm brake anti-rattle clips with just a little overhang over the flat part on each end, that is how they fit on my 380 mm anti-rattle clips. But if you want you can go with the short ones instead, just hold one of each up to a clip and see which you prefer.
One problem though - the linked ones are "straight" and I have slightly curved ones which IMHO look better (they follow the curve of the clip), but try as I might I can no longer find a seller of curved ones with the correct "big foot" on the J, although you may have better luck.

 

They are usually fine, I like to spray 2 layers of clear coat on top however

I also got the stickers off of EBay. Many styles and colors to choose from and not very expensive.

So I followed the link provided above and ordered my stickers, thank you all so much as always ��

 

Just a word of warning.
If you decide to cover the new stickers with clear coat, and you have repainted the calipers etc with fresh paint, make absolutely sure the clear is the same type and brand of paint as the base. If you don't there is a good chance the clear will melt/dissolve the base and make a lovely mess all over your nice new and painstakingly applied stickers, don't ask how I know this!

 

Did my F-Pace last year and looking just fine a year later. Got the stickers on Ebay, few sizes and lettering options are available.
Got Black since the truck is Black

 

Looks great!

 

The anti-rattle clips on the front 380 mm brake calipers are a bear to replace until you get the knack of it and/or you have a helper with a third hand handy, but those monstrosities on your brakes look even worse!

 

Let's say I wish to have the calipers painted by my local body shop what do you think is a reasonable price to clean and paint all 4 calipers (calipers would be removed by the body shop, painted allowed to dry excetera) and reinstalled by the body shop.

 

I paid $120 for mine

 

Just to be clear did you remove your own calipers and reinstall them or did The body shop?

 

Sorry I should of been more precise.
Neither me or the shop removed the calipers.
They left calipers on and simply covered the rest of the part.

 

OK so let me ask it a different way if an auto shop is going to remove, clean and paint all 4 calipers, then reinstall, what would one expect to pay?

 

Another question here, I received the Jaguar caliper stickers (in white) I ordered on eBay, One set is good/small enough for the rear calipers but they’re not small enough to go over the spring with Jaguar printed on it (see the picture attached) can anybody guide me to the correct size?

 

I don’t remember anyone on the forum ever removing the calipers to repaint them.

 

Interesting, thanks!

Same here..usually calipers get removed when they get powder coated but not for getting painted

 

I replaced the pads all around this past weekend, so I went ahead and painted them while they were partially off.
