For those of you have painted your brake calipers and/or applied decals to them, I'd like to know how it turned out.

Has the paint and calipers held up well, etc?

 

I did this months ago (Feb I think) I cleaned up my calipers (I may have painted them black but I can't remember-it was months ago) and applied silver decals then clear coated about 5 times.

No issues at all, still look perfect like I installed yesterday......however, the right way to do this is-
1.clean up the calipers.
2.paint the calipers completely silver
3. apply the decals
4. paint the calipers completely black
5. carefully remove the decals, this will reveal the "LEXUS" in silver.
6. clearcoat a couple of times.

 

1. Clean up caliper
2. Stick on decal

Looks great no pealing or discoloration. Stickers have been on for about 5 months. Even went to the track with them (brake's got really hot). I did get the TSB done on the brakes about a month ago. What a difference, way less brake dust.
I got my stickers from someone on this forum for about 12 bucks.

Thanks for the feedback

I have tried the Flatline Graphix website...I can't seem to get to any sub-menus to see what products they have etc. Anybody else have the same problem.

I think its http://www.flatlinegraphix.com/

 

Doesnt work for me either.

 

Okay, so where are we getting the decals from now? Am I going to have to make them myself? Maybe I should, then Ill just sell them to everyone! BWA HA HA HA!

 

I googled caliper decal..got lots of hits...now its just figuring out which are good and which suck.

 

When I got my decals, I had to Email them, I thought they'd have the site working by now.

 

I just finished my calipers today. Painted them black and put a heat resistant chrome lexus sticker. And i'm clear coating it tomorrow. It actually looks very sharp

 

Did you use heat resistant paint or the special caliper paint?

Where did you get the stickers?

 

caliper paint, i got the stickers fromthis guy there was a thread a lil while back. let me try and fina his email

 

I have a set of white decals from FlatLinegraphix that I haven't even used (they are brand new mint condition) If anyone wants them PM me we can work out a good deal

 

Those look really good man! Wish I had the 350 brakes... they look so much better painted and with the sticker!

 

Has anyone done this for an IS250? If so, can you post pics?
