So I am powder coating my calipers in a metallic candy red much like the ones pictured here:
160652
But I think the OEM red "flag" decal will clash with the caliper color.
I want to do either a black "flag" like this:
160653
Or a two-tone color "flag" like this:
160654
The problem is I can't find them anywhere for S6. They have everything from RSQ5 to R8 to S line, but no S6. Does anyone know where I can get decals like this?

There's several places you can get decals made locally or online. Motor City Vinyl I've used in the past and easy to deal with.

Glad those aren't your red powdercoated those red calipers, left pistons and seals inside. Didn't remove or tape off. Some places will powdercoat with pistons/seals installed, some places will make you remove them. I had my SLC calipers done and removed everything before bringing to powdercoat place, just ordered new seals and installed when I got them back.

Yeah I will definitely be removing everything before turning them over to the powder coat shop. I suppose if you planned on replacing the pistons and everything that you could just leave them in....but like someone else said, those are some expensive plugs! lol

Based on that photo, the red on the decal looks ok to me on that caliper.

Not really looking for "ok". I think the black flag would look way better.

Search eBay for seller tibor.ns High quality vinyl. From Serbia but shipping was quick. He will do what ever you want if he doesn’t already have what you want listed. I had him print up 3 color decals that matched the factory stencil for mine.

Orange calipers look great! I've had the stuff to paint my calipers orange for about a year now and yet to take the time to clean, prep and paint them.

Not too keen on the orange. The yellow would look great on a dark car unlike mine.

Orange isnt for everyone and I might change it up again. I wanted something different. [emoji106]160846160847

I'm partial to it, thanks to this thread reminded me I still need to paint my calipers as soon as it warms up a bit.

This is Prismatic Illusion Orange powdercoat on my SLC calipers.

Im getting it done with Prismatic Lollipop Red with a chrome undercoat to really make it pop.
