Brake dust is just part of the mix. I had white epoxy painted calipers once and they were dirty all the time. Along with brake dust add hunks of tar, grease and stains from stuff thrown up from the tires.

I wouldn't advise white for a daily driver.

Not sure why you got heat when a lot of us DIY the calipers and didn't even go to a bodyshop for it.. ha ha. I know you said that all sides are covered, but even if the insides are not painted, so what? It's not visible anyways. Oh yea, that one person who's going to service your brakes is definitely going to criticize you for it. lol.

I think they came out Great..!!

The only thing I would have done different, would have been the Front Left Caliper Logo.

my good friend and head painter of the shop next door came by.....we had it up on MY lift......and drank a few tall cans. That plus materials and a tip i tossed him is all it took. Look at the Hoopty (Candy blue) or my Tahoe (meadecherry red) and you will see he is a pro

I met a few new Lexus owners (IS/ISF) getting their break calipers painted yesterday and they told me to go check out the forums (to see what other members were doing with their breaks.)

What happened to "if you don't have anything positive to say..." ahh its pointless I guess...... : )

Breaks look good though! : )

Brembo on all four (4) wheels on the 2012s and I believe all earlier models.

I would find another dealership for service.

I know this is an old thread, but I would love to get this done to my car as well, but have them say Brembo instead... None the less im liking the USB on the calipers and loving your ride meade916 !

^^^ Damn I want mine to look like that! How much did you pay and do you have a shot of the rears?

Its so hard to trust the shops and people out here on Guam to do a good job like that... Last guy I trusted to paint my G37 ended up taking it out for a joy ride to show off to his friends and others his paint work... untrustworthy business if you ask me...
