Default Alcon's reconditioned w/6 Piston stencil

Decided to repaint wheels, slap on some new Pirellis and while I was at it updated the end links/joints and recondition calipers.

I made a little stencil to replace the Alcon 6-Piston lettering. I used a laser to cut out a stencil decal and stuck it on transfer paper. Turned out pretty decent.
Figured you guys would like some pics.


Stencil Decal placed.



Taped off



VHT Black High Temp Paint



Removed stencil



Turned out nice. Used the Jaguar Font style.

Very nicely done! Looks great with the Sentas. The 6 looks a little off, but no one but you and I will ever know.

What paint did you use? Was it a kit and what brand?

Your calipers look great.

Thanks guys.
I used the Duplicolor Ceramic Brush on Kit. I just used a better quality brush. The one supplied in the kit leaves coarse hair marks, so I high recommend getting a good artist brush for a better appearance.
Yes the font is slightly different, I was playing around with some standard font's I have vs tracing out the factory look. The font I used is the newer Jag F-Type font just stenciled out a little to make it easier with this decal transfer.
If anyone needs some of these stencils just let me know. I have a few back ups I cut out.
