Caliper Paint: Local Paint Shops?
Just ordered some black Lexus decal stickers on ebay and am ready to paint my stock calipers on my 2GS. I have a black GS and have silver wheels (sig below). I want to paint my calipers Brembo Gold with high temp spray paint, put on the decals, and clear it over. I called Tommy (Lexus GS3) he said Pepboys, Autozone, Kragen wouldnt have that specific type of high temp spray paint.
Anybody know of any local (Los Angeles city area) speciality paint shops that would carry specific Brembo gold high temp spray paint? Maybe an Infiniti dealer? Any help would be appreciated, I'm trying to get this ish painted before the Luau!!!!!

i got my black ones from pep boys. look for high temp engine enamel, those that can stand 500 degrees or something like that. that's good enough. paint was on my calipers for 6 yrs and didn't fade a bit. 4 layers of black, decal, and 4 layers of clear
now your question on gold, that one i am not sure, i would think they have gold but no idea how specific. if anything, try backyard creations i guess? if you can't find the spray paint at auto store, i doubt they are available as spray paint from body shops

G2 works fine. but it still chips, gets scratched. and doesnt come with a clear.
i would suggest using G2 AND a rattle can hi temp clear for best and long lasting results. good luck.
i used G2 on my OEMS and they look like shat. good think i painted them black. my UCF20 front came powder coated and they still chip get scratched. so its gonna happen.

you guys are awesome.
whitearisto, your calipers came out perfectly! Thats exactly the look I'm goin for.
i bought the kit that i posted up on ebay. so this does NOT come with a clear coat? what brand clear coat spray do you guys recommend. I usually go to pepboys.
