Painted my calipers !
Was thinking about doing this a long time ago and I finally got around to it!
The caliper before: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...edwheeloff.jpg The painted caliper. Yeah I didn't do such a great job aligning the decal. I got the other side perfect though. Funny, I was concentrating a lot harder when doing this one... http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...edwheeloff.jpg With the wheel on before: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...tedwheelon.jpg Now: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...tedwheelon.jpg yep, OEM rims. Sorry.:) |
I like your effort! Where'd you get the decal and what kind of paint? thanks,YO-g
|
Looks sweet.... :)
:cool: |
Looks good:thumbup:
|
Thanks.
I got the decals from a guy here, VegasIS300. I just used 500 degree high temp. paint (i think it was duplicolor "engine enamel"). Masked everything off. A couple coats of black. Put the decal on. Then a couple coats of clear. |
Looks good. It makes you wonder why car makers don't paint all calipers. It would only cost a few penny's for them to do it, and they could add in the cost without anyone noticing.

Very nice mod and Lexus should have done it..
for you by design. Powdercoated red, black or white. The decal draws attention. Nice work.
