Caliper Color Question
I am getting ready to change the pads and rotors on my 07 RWD GS350 and figured I might as well paint the calipers also. I am torn between the F sport blue and Gold so I decided to come to the forum for some opinions. Let me know what you guys think. Also, does anyone know the F Sport blue paint code?

Really, it comes down to what YOU like. Personally, I think the blue looks good if the car isn't stock and has been customized a bit. On a stock car, it'll look a little off, IMO. The gold just looks clean all around, and it can go well with either stock or custom... Then again, how gold are we talking here?

This is what my GS looks like, its lower since its RWD.
But I have these wheels, car is tinted, I have the jdm visors, and yellow city and fog lights. Thats about it for exterior mods.
I attached the color gold I was thinking.
I'm also thinking about Lexus' Ultrasonic Blue Metallic. Leaning towards that but I think gold is clean as well.

I'd go gold over blue, personally. Also, I'd even consider more of a platinum colored caliber, sort of like the first pic attached. Another is the Brembo orange, like in the second pic.

So with the nice weather we had in DC this weekend I decided to tackle the brake overhaul and caliper paint. All we going well until I was reinstalling the new pads and rotors. Turns out I have 2 seized pistons on the front left caliper, 1 seized piston on the right front caliper (which i fixed) and a seized rear caliper.
The gold turned out nice but because I'm fixing this calipers, I will be changing the color up. Attached are pics. I'll post pics when I redo everything. I've gota replace my front struts too so I'll tackle that while I'm in there.
