I used G2 caliper paint for both of my IS. Its an epoxy not really paint. Dont have to apply primer, still have to clean it either way as prep work

I wanted to paint mine but I leased my car. Will they charge me a fee when I turn it in for painting them?

Painting the calipers is a PLUS for the car... it is more like if i should pay it for them instead of them charging me for adding value to their car lol. That is my opinion.
