Default POST YOUR PAINTED CALIPER PICS - looking for ideas!

Nevermind, found a thread that does this already so don't want to be redundant.

How can I delete a thread? Or can only mods do it?

If so, please do!

Mine is probably pretty standard



Calipers were simply spray painted red. Then a custom lexus decal was stuck on the caliper. Then finished with a clearcoat final layer for a bit of gloss

I have used the brakes for more than a year with zero loss of colour or shine on the calipers. But if you really want them to look their best, you have to clean the calipers frequently as lots of dirt and grime builds up on them. All you need is a wet cloth

The calipers were sprayed in a paint shop so i dont have any idea how they did it specifically

Rotors are slotted/drilled drop-in replacements from Rotora



My second colour choice would have been glossy black calipers with white lexus lettering.

Polished looks pretty sick man. Props for the work. How long did it take?
