A no-go for leasing cars I assume, yes?

For those that have painted theirs, how long does it typically last? Do you find yourself repainting them every 6 months, every year, etc?

Hmm, are those the IS250 or 350 calipers? I want to do them to mine too but I know the 250 calipers are smaller...

G-2 Caliper paint should last you a lifetime. I had it on a previous car of mine for 10 years with no issues whatsoever.

Unless you go with some really off the wall color like pink, I think the dealer would have a hard time saying that this somehow diminished the value of the car. I am leasing my vehicle, and painted the calipers red (see my thread in the Brakes & Suspension forum). In all honesty, they probably wouldn't even realize they had been done unless it was to call out that this is how the calipers should have come from the factory in the first place! lol
