painting calipers
Hi all, I know a lot of people don't like the idea of painted calipers on an IS, but I have them done already and I'm going to get the color changed. I have the red brush-on kit color which doesn't match, and the job is far from perfect. I'm going to get my engine cover and intake color-matched soon, and I am going to have the calipers repainted. I wanted to color match the calipers but because of the problems possible from the heat, I wasn't sure if it was worth the risk (I don't mind being the guinea pig for the idea, but I don't want major problems). If it was too much of a risk/problem, then I guess I would have to settle for black so I can use high temp paint. I have white on black Lexus decals for the calipers and it looks great on the red right now, but I don't know how it will look on black paint with a red car.
So, I need some advice. Should I take a chance and see how it goes with the color-matched paint or use high temp black paint?
Thanks ahead!
