Looking into getting this done also, was wondering if anybody knows where i can get a good rear brake caliper cover since it's different from the front calipers, would make it easier to apply the decals i want...?
My IS250 has finally got it's complete brake swap from JDM RC300h FSport (actually the same parts as IS350 FSport boasts). The calipers are professionally painted - solid black with two-color metallic "F" logo (and clear coated, of course) - a pure GSF style ) The rotor hats are painted in matt black. Endless SSM pads inside )
Hi , I just painted my callipers using G2 Blue
went on very well, enough paint to paint all 4 three times
easy to do , no mess, i would recommend it
going to place the stickers tomorrow
These photos are of my 2015 GS350 F Sport (RWD). I experimented on my car first and it went "OK". I used aluminum foil and painter's tape instead of cloth or paper to shield areas I did not want painted. I am thinking of repainting them again to blue, yellow, or orange. The red doesn't stand out like I thought it would.
Now that I've built a little confidence in the process and in the product that I used, at some point in the future, I will paint the calipers on my wife's 2015 IS350 Convertible. It is burgundy in color. Any suggestions for the caliper color to go with the burgundy?
Where did you get or how do you order your tires with the raised white letters?
I used Dupli-Color HT100 White Hot Tire Paint Pin. Bought from Oreilly auto part s for less than 10 bucks. I believe soon or later you will need to retouch it but it does look nice tho
leo877, Indeed it does look cool. You must have a pretty steady hand to have painted that. You did well. How difficult was it on the "steady hand" meter? How long can it go between touch ups?
zondanegro, were your wife's white letters put on with a paint pin like leo877s?
No, this is the third set I have ordered from Tredwear.com. I have the .75 inch letters. Look them up on instagram. My wife told me that is literally her favorite mod on her car.
