Ok guys here are some pictures of my painted calipers and my Lexus stickers. It took me almost four hours to get the job done, but I think it was worth it. The pictures do no justice in person it looks so much better!!! The color of the stickers is brushed aluminum, it looks really good with the stock wheels.




This is one of the rear wheels


This are the front wheels

I just RE-painted mine as well. Looks good.

Where did you get your stickers from? Flatline Graphix?

did you paint, dry, stick, paint, peel?
or just paint and stick?

Doesnt look half bad. I wish we had the 350 brakes though. I think it looks a little better on those.

Thanks guys!!!! This is the kit I used, it comes with everything that you need and you can buy it in your local auto parts store.

In your third picture, you put the sticker on the wrong way.

Hmm how about a picture from far away

no is not the wrong way, that is a picture of the driver side the second one is the passenger side

mlee21

??? its still on the wrong way.

the bottom of the decal should be closest to the center of the caliper.
*so technically, the fourth and fifth one is wrong too*

but then again.. its a matter of preference.

Here are new pictures that I take with my new ISP wheels

i was thinking about doing this to mine, but i am going to upgrade to is350 brakes instead. i just see those 4 hours invested being an entire is350 caliper/rotor and brake line swap.

the is250 brakes just look cheap no matter how you paint/stick them. they are the same design of brake calipers on any car. my 17 year old jeep has calipers that look identical (minus the fresh paint).

either way, nice writeup cool wheels, and great pics. the paint does look much better than stock... bravo with choosing black! it came out awesome!
