I used the Duplicolor caliper paint on mine. Holding up pretty well, just a few chips after a year including a tough winter.

I've seen Mustang logo decals that can be applied to the calipers. Forget where

G2 is a great product and comes with a lifetime warranty. My white paint chipped so they replaced it, and I asked them to change it to black this time. I bought the pony stickers off eBay, made him an offer and he accepted. It came with 4 large ponies and 2 smaller ones -after I put them on I thought I should have used the smaller ones on the rear calipers. I had them on my white calipers for 4 years with no problems. You may be able to get the Mustang in script from this same guy.







And this is the guy I bought mine from:

(I need to get some new pictures with the pads touched up where the paint got on them)

Southern Mustang is where I got my first set - now that you posted that I remember. I couldn't think of it when I changed my caliper paint this spring.

Bah.. painted mine back in 08... they're okay but starting to break off in some parts. Gonna throw some stock calipers back on. I can't stand the paint chipped look and I don't trust those brake caliper covers..
