I reackon you could use them as a reverse template.

Paint calipers White.
Stick sticker onto caliper.
Paint caliper Red.
Remove sticker.

You will now have a caliper that is red with Mazda written in white 8)
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.

rod. they might just do the trick.. but im not sure my brakes are as smooth as the ones in that picture... mighten be a perfect surface for the transfer to stick too... but at that price if they didnt last for ever it wouldnt be the end of the world. :P
