Is there a high temp vinyl that will go onto brake calipers?
Is there a vinyl that will withstand high tempertures such as brake calipers, exhaust trims? If so any idea of price and supplier.
Would a standard cutter be able to cut it? -

Paul, try doing a search or reading through the posts in the vinyl forum as it’s been asked before and you will probably get a better answer that way, certainly get a quicker answer.

Think i better get to bed..oops 😮 -
not sure if this is of any use but I have cut several hundred decals for brake caliper applications for car clubs / race teams and never had problems. Im not wrapping the calipers but we have done ones that say camaro, corvette, porsche etc they hold up fine as long as the surface is prepped. Most of the decals were being applied to cars with big brake kits for racing so they were already painted/powdercoated. I think a lot of the guys were also embedding them into a clear coat after they were applied.

George- Similar application i’m looking to do. What vinyl did you use?
-
I have used Avery 7 year and 9 year vinyls. I am also using a 7 year reflective on my personal calipers without clear-coat on top. They have been on for 2 years now (but the car doesn’t see any bad weather days) so I don’t really know what rain would add into the equation. I have also used cheaper 4 & 6 year vinyls for applications on headlight housings and I haven’t gotten any calls that say they have failed.

Called Grafitib today, the girl was unaware such a vinyl existed?? any suppliers on here stock it?
-
Paul I think George was saying any high grade vinyl will do ie:- 5-7 year the vinyl he mentioned wasn’t special just normal every day vinyl. hope this helps
