Painted Calipers - Flame Suit On.
Ok...at the risk of being flamed and ridiculed, I'm posting pics of my freshly painted calipers.
Seriously though, I am not so sensitive as to be insulted by your honesty. Let me know what you think!
I went with red, because I find that the color looks best behind black wheels. I used Duplicolor Caliper Paint (brush on) for the job and have used it in the past with good results.
Next up is to wait for the paint to cure and then apply the Lexus decals to the calipers. The decals are white. I'll submit pics when they're applied.
The only thing I did differently with the paint kit was to get a few pain brushes from the paint store, as the one supplied is a joke and sheds bristles in short order.

I didnt really care for the red myself, but my rim guy sprayed my on his own, but it I've grown to like it. The stickers will really set them off once you put them on.
