I just sourced some 350 calipers to paint and install on my 250- love the purple suggestion here! I'm actually looking at a paint that's similar to your wrap for the calipers since my car is a deep sea mica.
I'm putting a vote for purple! I was looking at this but now you've got me considering midnight purple haha
Thats actually really nice too. I talked to my buddy who owns the shop that’ll be installing my new wheels and painting my calipers (he’s the same person that did my wrap) and he actually suggested I stick with my first choice which was a midnight blue. He told me it should stand out and not blend with the car. In order for it to pop, it needs to be a different color. Plus not many people get blue calipers. I usually see red, black, silver and yellow. Plus, he said he doesn’t have purple but he said even if he did, he would still suggest blue over purple.

I can see his perspective as well! If you wanted to go with an oem paint color option I'd suggest deep sea mica. Love how blue it is in the sun and how dark it is at night.
We'd be reversed if I went with that caliper color haha

Deep sea mica is very nice as well. Definitely thinking of a darker shade of blue so that might just work
The burnt orange is very nice but not really my taste. I’m not a fan of orange and not too sure I can picture it with my wrap.
What do you guys think of purple calipers?
1st and Foremost... Nice work on your Lexy... Super Clean, very custom and doesnt look "over the top" but it's definitely one of a kind and not overly done.
Since you have that Wrap that changes color, a Nice shade of Purple on the Calipers would definitely tie it all together IMO.

Looking forward to your updates!
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment 🙏🏼 Unfortunately, my buddy who’s going to do the whole install for me and the paint on the calipers doesn’t have purple but he agreed with me on my first choice of blue. He said he feels that’ll make it pop more then blending a purple caliper with my wrap (my wrap throws off more purple hue than the other colors). I was going to go with something like this:
Purple was the first color that came to mind when I saw the pictures of your car. I was scrolling through the thread thinking, "Why hasn't anyone suggested purple yet?" lol But I see it finally came up. Shame your friend can't get purple for you.
If you have access to photoshop I'd suggest adding the blue calipers that way first, to see if you really like how it looks with the wrap.
Might want to consider white calipers though. That'll definitely pop behind the dark wheels. You could even get custom F Sport stickers made to match the wrap on the car. Just a thought.

Yeah, that was actually an idea thought of as well. I was going to do black calipers with the F Sport or Lexus stickers made in the same vinyl as my wrap.
