Looking forward to doing this to my 2011. Thinking of going with the gtr burnt orange

 

I have an '11 USB IS-F with low miles and the paint on the front calipers are already chipping. I was set on repainting them blue, but then saw the burnt copper and am now torn between the colors. The G2 blue is not an exact match and the burnt copper isn't anywhere on the car.

 

My mk3 supra is half burnt copper, why my wheels are Orange (barrowed them from her to check fitment on the isf) I like it, I think I'd go burnt over blue but my car is smokey grey

 

orange looks good too, like on the GSF

 

Thanks 4TehNguyen for the pic.

 

Nicely done, very clean looking. I'd love to do the same for mine, that blue would look sweet on white ISF!

Love the Brembo stickers much more than the factory Lexus ones

 

I just did mine in VHT Burnt Copper. Turned out pretty good!

 

I looked at burn copper but it's too orange for me personally, I did brembo gold

 

Yea that Orange is like my mk3 supra, hence why my volks are orange..

 

love the burnt copper, personally wanted to go for the same effect.

 

Going to repaint my calipers soon.

Question about the decals. I plan to stick with oem Lexus decals and buy from the quoted site.
1. Do the decal stay on the caliper then spray on a clearcoat?
2. Or paint a base color for the oem lexus logo, then stick on the decal, then paint entire caliper with the color of my choice, then remove decal to reveal base color, then spray on clearcoat?

Also, how many coats of paint and clearcoat should be applied so its durable enough for track use?

Any other tips will be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Color then sticker then clear coat.

 

Don't be too optimistic about calipers staying nice with track use, especially with stickers or decals on them. I burned the silver Lexus gold on my front calipers with track use.
