Default Gonna paint my calipers Burnt Copper...

Buy VHT Paint Engine Metallic Burnt Copper, 11 oz, Aerosol SP402 at Advance Auto Parts

But I need to find logos of a leaper or an "R"...I've looked through other threads on this but aside from making them yourself there doesn't seem to be any other way of obtaining them.

Anyone have any other info on the "R" logo that would reproduce what is on the caliper?

Nice...I guess I won't be the only XK with the same caliper color.... I've had the VHT Burnt Copper on my calipers for 2 years now and no peeling or fading. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-my-xkr-90014/

You can also see the VHT burnt copper on the video in my sig at frame 0:56 and 3:04.

Now this is an honor...to be copying the venerable Ghostrider!!

Did you put any decals back on?

Seem like a really good color choice for the calipers on a black car. It is tempting me...

Rodney,

Several styles of die-cut high temperature vinyl Jaguar logo and "R" brake caliper stickers are available on eBay.uk for S, X, and XJR models. Since the design is not exactly the same as what is on your XKR's calipers, I'm not sure if you would want to use them. I'm also not sure if any of them will fit. Here's the link: Jaguar Type 'R' racing brake decal S Type GrnRedSil x1 items in SupergraphicsF1 store on eBay!
and some pix:

Curved:


Straight:







Owners across the pond have expressed the same concern about replacing their worn "R" caliper decals. See this thread on the JaguarForum.co.UK XKR Brake Caliper Decals in particular, post #7. You may want to register and post to that thread so you will be notified when updates occur.

Hope this helps,

Stuart
