new rotors + brake pads

any tips on painting calipers?! I was thinking of FSport blue but no idea where to get the paint.

Several members have used G2 caliper paint with success. They offer blue and it's available from amazon.

G2 is awesome - I painted mine about 3 years ago just after getting the car. I will warn you, they say you will need 2 kits for a BBK - that is bunk. I ordered 2 kits. I put 6 coats on the calipers and 3 coats on the dust shield and tossed about 1/4 of one kit. The second kit I used on my S2000 and put 6 coats on the calipers and tossed 2/3 of that kit.

I picked Black and it looks as good today as it did 3 years ago.

I looked to see if I had in process pics of my IS caliper painting. I only have the S2000 ones.....

Removing the old paint (OTC) not too hard to do - tapped a few times with a hammer and it was falling off.

I used Duplicolor caliper paint; worked great!

I just finished painting my is350 brake calipers with G2 with black. I also installed some Lexus decals on the front. I was going to use blue but decided black was a better choice. The G2 blue is not the right F Sport blue. In the final decision, even if it was the right shade I would have decided not to do it because I don't have F Sport brakes. Also installed some EBC Sport rotors with slots and A-bono pads. The rotors come coated black and the scrape surface is evident after the bed in.

I did mine 10+ years ago on my Supra and they still look great. I don't know about now but then, I needed a better brush than what G2 supplied. A cheap throw-away from Lowe's will work better.
