Did you remove the calipers to paint them?

you can always paint the caliper the color you want the lexus logo, apply decal, then paint the second color and peel off the logo sticker. this way you wont have to worry about peeling. I would also recomend clearing coating it.

I have an OB is350 so I think I'm going to go with a gloss black with a Metallic silver vinyl like one if these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Temp-Brake-Caliper-Decals-for-IS350-2005-2006-2007-2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-/281260952195?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item417c758a83&vxp=mtr
