Default Caliper "Lexus" stickers and paint

My wife's '15 IS350 F Sport could REALLY use some red calipers and to dress them up with the Lexus logo on them.

Planning on using G2 Red caliper paint and wanted to add a OEM looking Lexus sticker on the caliper face. Has anyone used something that has lasted and holds up well?

Also can someone show me what the OEM logo orientation/font/style/placement looks like?

Thanks!

OEM logos spell out "Lexus" from bottom-to-top on the passenger side of the car and from top-to-bottom on the driver's side.

I suggest going with Powdercoating the color of your choice. It expensive,but it really is better looking and you will never need to paint them again.
You can still paint it with a caliper paint can but the result is not the same.

For sticker you can find LEXUS sticking on Amazon or Ebay easily.

This is the 300-350 brake caliper OEM painted with the Lexus sticker.

Always a question of taste, but I prefer Silver paint with Black Lexus logo. Or even orange since the RC350 F sport 3 comes with orange caliper in the US and some JDM IS350

Here's what I did. Red paint with a heat resistant "F-Sport" decal that I ordered from eBay.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I added a clear coat after applying the decal to protect it. So, order is red paint, decal, clear coat.

Too much dust, even with weekly high-pressure jet-wash.
No matter how much powder-coat or wrap you use, it will always be covered with white/black/brown soot, as soon as you drive it out on the road in US.
Not worth the trouble especially when our IS brakes are so tiny.
Can't even see it even with BBS rims.
