Hey guys, been awhile since my last post. but i got my brand new 250 couple weeks ago and i love it. but i wanted Tips, Pointers to see exactly how or what i need inorder to " paint" my brake calipers ( sorry im still noobish). My car is Ultra White / Red and i wanted to paint the calipers WITHOUT taking them off having to pump back the brakes and add a "F-Sport" Sticker onto any Tips? or best / cheapest way to do it with out messing up? Thank you guys!

You'll definitely want to jack up the car and remove the wheel.

- Most important step is to properly clean the caliper with a brake cleaner. If there's rust, use steel wool, scouring pad, or sand paper to remove. Ensure no rust or grease is present.
- Cover/tape all areas you don't want painted (i.e. rotor, brake lines, suspension components, etc.
- Paint with a quality caliper paint.
- Add your vinyl decal when dry.

There are tonnes of videos out there. Here's one as an example. Have fun!

If you search "G2 caliper paint on Amazon or eBay, it's some pretty good stuff. I hear that you should go out and get a decent brush though and not the one that comes with the kit, as it won't come out as good. They also make Lexus and F-Sport decals on eBay that are just for calipers.

Also, you won't need to pump the brakes or do anything like that if you take them off. What you would do is unbolt the caliper from the bracket, and paint it like that (still attached to the brake line while being careful not to tug on it) that way you can get every corner and edge.

I painted my calipers this past weekend using the G2 caliper paint. came out perfect. No need to remove the calipers.
