Painting Calipers

Does anyone know if the Aston Martin" lettering on the vantage calipers is etched in or just a decal? I really like the red calipers but not all of the cars I'm interested come with red. Therefore, could I paint them?

Thanks

check ebay, they sell them there for different cars, you could ask the seller to get different color made

The lettering is painted on. I painted my calipers from black to red thinking that decals would be easy to find, but I was incorrect. I spent months trying to find after market decals that were exactly the same as the original and ended up buying many crappy decals from many sellers. I finally found a company in Canada that could match the font and size perfectly. I'm not sure what the font/size is off the top of my head, or the name of the company that supplied them, but I can probably find that information if you need it.

Racer X, that would be very helpful if you could pass along that info from Canada. On another note, does anyone reading this post have a light (Sandstorm) dashboard? I like the look of the light interior but I wonder about sun glare from a light colored dash.

Regards,
