Sounds like you guys should find someone that can do it and do a group buy on caliper work!
I'm sure there are others around SoCal...

This should be moved to the SoCal section btw

do it yourself!

its not hard at all.

1. jack up the car.
2. put car on jackstands.
3. take off tires and calipers
4. prep (brake cleaner + wire brush)
5. g2 / vht caliper paint
6. wait 30-1 hr between coats
7. install white lexus decal (from ebay)
8. clear coat over to protect the decal
9. put everything back together

Yeah, he's kinda like me. I'd like to just throw money at the situation. I would be there to help and do a part of it myself, but would like someone experienced to assist.
I'd be down for that group buy that was discussed earlier (OG post in other sub-forum)

Yeah do it at Tommy's at music box, just order high temp decal. If u dont have the tools to lift up the car and about 6 hrs to do it. Either g2 or high temp paint and high temp clear coats.

Well said...come on people! Painting your calipers is one of the easiest things you can do. Bought not built? lol...doesn't sound as cool.
