Painted the calipers on the F
Painted the calipers on the F
I decided to go with silver calipers and black Brembo decals. I wanted it to to a "stock look". Took longer than expected...I did it myself. Took about 6 hours from start to finish. I love the look..what do you think?
Sweet!
i really wanna change mine but i kinda want the sleeper look!

I think it looks pretty good! What caliper paint did you use? A brush on epoxy like G2? Any high temp clearcoat after?
Not that many folks will notice, but I think the Brembo stickers are reversed from how the aftermarket Brembos come (here's an old pic of mine to compare from a similar angle)

While you were there, did you happen to notice the size of the bleeders? I want to get some Earl's Solo Bleeders and replace the OEM bleeders so I can bleed the brakes by myself.

That looks really good - I've always said that the first thing I would do if I ever bought an IS-F would be to repaint the calipers and put the Brembo badging on them. Oh, and Dave is right - the text is supposed to face the front of the vehicle... Still looks great!
