Has anyone used a Porsche Stencil?

[insite]

that's where i got mine. i've had them on the car for around two years with no discoloration, fading or shrinking. i also track my car, so my calipers get VERY hot quite frequently. frankly, the decals hold up a lot better than the paint does. BTW, they're not a single piece decal with colored words & clear backing. each letter is an individual decal. they're pre-aligned on transfer tape. their website tells you the 'factory' lettering size.

I have the xenonmods decals on my repainted calipers and I like them. The quality is very good.

The only downside is it's difficult or impossible to clear coat over them. That is the only reason I would consider the stencils - so you can put a bunch of clear coats over the lettering.

Ya, xenonmods is good. Mine look great with G2 and no clear over the decals.

i dont think theres a need to clearcoat the alipers when painted anyways.
all you are left with after some hard braking is some clearcoat pitting...
happend to my friend so i never put any on any of my cars (or him on his for that matter), the paint already is very glossy

If the clearcoat is applied properly it increases the durability of the paint significantly and will not blister or pit. Usually people have problems because they wait too long to apply the clear (it should be applied shortly after the last color coat) or they apply the first coats too thick.

You CANNOT clear coat over the xenonmods decals - they don't accept paint.
