#2IS Caliper Painting (merged threads)
Personally... I think IS350 calipers are pretty big ... almost BBK like, so painting them would look good (YELLOW OR RED 
)
But IS250 calipers are just too small... it wouldn't look good, and they also don't have a flat side to them

I painted mine black and put a silver decal on it. It's one of many mods I've done to my car that I'm the only one can tell it's been done!!! No one notices it. Which in a way is a good thing.
Yeah, I was thinking black and only black if I did it... that with a silver decal. I think if it is done right it can look extremely clean and OEM... prolly gonna do it soon.

i've posted these pics up before, but not in this thread, so here it is again. i didn't take the caliper off completely. would've been cleaner but oh well haha but u can't see the not painted part with the wheel on, its impossible only with the wheel off. hopefully will get some slotted rotors once i need to replace my brakes. durability has been great too. no chips or nothing, painted, put the sticker on, no clear coat, still as good as day one! its been 2 months or so now of daily driving 40 miles to work.
I got the G2 caliper paint stuff for like 40 bucks on ebay and painted mine black about a month ago and I think they look fantastic. They do get a little dirty from time to time, but you can just wipe them off and they are still as glossy as they were the first day I painted them.
I don't think you will regret it if you do it.
