Re: caliper refurb and repaint
Looking good but it looks to me like its the wrong font on the RS Sticker.

Re: caliper refurb and repaint
Even the logo on the forum header is wrong the R and the S aren't correct. People think it's Eurostyle Italic but it's not. The correct RS logo is this -seaney76 wrote:they came from my contact at VW TPS, so I'm confident the font is finejaysrs4 wrote:Looking good but it looks to me like its the wrong font on the RS sticker.
The 'beak'of the S should protrude the spine (among lots of other features). Sorry I'm being anal - it's what 20 years of being in the design industry does to you!

25+ years in commercial design, the Audi RS is not Eurostyle from any font house. It's completely rendered possibly based on Eurostyle. Sorry. But the sticker font is wrong.
Brands of the world or even a vector RS 4 etc extracted from a Audi piece of corporate collateral is better. Tempted to get the vector sized, cut in Metamark lacquer safe vinyl and then applied and re lacquered maybe...

Funny you should say that, they don't. Some pollock from a so called 'design company' uploaded it. It looks like someone with Word typed it up! Lol
Mmmmmmm looks good! Looks like some kind of Chinese blind man rip off!!

Vector extracted from a PDF - that'll do it!

Re: caliper refurb and repaint
Normally golden with a vector Google. But this one is tricky - no PDF with reference either... will search some more...

Re: caliper refurb and repaint
I'm looking to change the colour of mine as well. Any chance you could steer me in the right direction with regards to correct paint to use and any other tips?? Would be greatly appreciated. I have Sepang Blue with Black Pack and want callipers blue as well. They're black at the moment but I think Blue would look really good.
When not walking on water I fly through the air with the greatest of ease.

Brakes look good 
But... please don't use copperslip between disk bell and wheel face.
You're inviting hub runout/brake judder.

Re: caliper refurb and repaint
I think those calipers look great with the black wheels! 
You have made me want yellow calipers now! Mine is all black with black wheels. I had my heart set on red calipers but after seeing those behind the black wheels I have changed my mind
I can see the decals are a big topic of conversation. I rang Audi and surprised they cannot get hold of them. Is it just a case of getting them designed by a specialist or are there companies that already offer them?

Re: caliper refurb and repaint
Hi friend, I downloaded the logo to put it in my calipers. I was wondering if you would have the file in photoshop or .bmp. I would be interested to have it in white also to try.jaysrs4 wrote:Even the logo on the forum header is wrong the R and the S aren't correct. People think it's Eurostyle Italic but it's not.
