Hi everyone.I have a Lexus is250 and i v recently bought ISF calipers to install.My Lexus is the blue onyx pearl and i want to paint the calipers an other color(i haven't decided yet which one) so that can much with my car and also be showy but not ugly.Anyway i v been told that the best way to have a perfect result is electrostatic painting but the guy told me that i have to remove everything including the pots and the rubber things that surrounds them.I want to ask if there is someone that has done this and how difficult is to do this?

 

its time consuming but not hard.

 

it's called spray paint. i used a can of primer and a $3.29 can of krylon metal paint and it works great. there really isnt a need for 'high temp' paint because unless you track your car daily, the brakes do not get that hot.

 

"Electrostatic painting"...does he mean powdercoating?

 

^ that's what I think he means too just sounds fancier.

 

Brembo and the factory service manual very specifically say NEVER remove the pistons from the calipers. Ever.
