Default Caliper Sticker Decal

I'm going to paint my 2007 GS 350 AWD Calipers (black paint with a black car) this weekend. Does anyone know where I can get the stickers or decals for them? I've looked on Ebay and could not find them.

I'm looking for the fronts that have the lexus logo and lexus name

and the rears that just have the small little lexus logo.

thanks for any information.

You gotta use clearcoat over it. I used high temp engine enamel and did 3 coats with some drying time inbetween coats

I had the same worry and used a clear coat, however, the clear coat made the glossy g3 paint dull and "matte" finish looking. Wish I hadn't used it.

Sounds like a good idea bbond but if u want your lexus emblem and letters any other color besides gray, it won't work. Joemama u must have used a bad engine enamel. Mine is still glossy til this day
