I want to go with red brake calipers. Was wondering what some of you guys have done whether just painted them yourself or purchased Lexus F Sport calipers. I want to see the "Lexus" in writing when done so not sure which route to go. Hoping for some input and pics of your calipers

I'm about to do it myself, but in blue. Buying the g2 epoxy paint from Amazon, and ordered decals off ebay. Finish it with high temp clear coat from Walmart. If you search caliper in the forum, there's a couple good threads on going about it.

well you can paint it urself and save money, or powder coated which is more money, but u cant order from dealer red calipers, I highly doubt it and what year are we talking about.

Oh ok I wasn't sure if you could just order the F calipers for our car. I have a 2014 AWD

mrpartsman

no way, does not exist , so the best way is get the paint color u want and paint it urself and make sure u cover all the rubber pieces and do a nice clear coat on it. I powder coated my old BBK brakes here is a pic.

I saw a DIY where the guy painted the caliper while still on the car. He just wrapped everything else in news paper. Is this what most people do or usually remove the caliper?

Personally dont like red calipers sick of seeing them on everything... From Hondas to yugos 😂 (Quit Played imo though) I think it all depends on the color scheme of your cars mods, & wheels...

Here's some pics of my previous & current Lexi (been waiting to type the word Lexi) if any questions hit me up... & yes i do all the work on my calipers myself...

+1 for the yellow, esp on a black car. Agreed that the red is played out.

I did my calipers blue. Also used the g2 system. It's applied with a paint brush that is supplied, so you can paint it while it's on the car. I didn't really cover anything up - just took my time - satisfied with the end product.

My GS is white, so I went with the red...I did consider blue but thought the red looked better with the starfire pearl finish.

You can get the "Lexus" Decals on eBay that fit nicely on each caliper. On a black car, just about any caliper color will look good.

Thanks guys. Big help. I think I'm gona go with the yellow. Especially since I'm changing to yellow fogs I think that will look best
