So a GREAT advantage of working in. A collision center is that I get to do some custom work on my 08 LS460!😜 Had the calipers painted the color of the car put a Lexus decal over the white painted red then removed the decal and clear coated the entire caliper! Came out awesome looks really NICE!! What you guys think??

Both paint jobs look really good.

Wow you even painted the backing plates, it looks good.

SweetLS

Thanks yeah I didn't like seeing silver thru the wheels thought the black backing plates would look ALOT better!

Looks great. I did the exact same thing to my calipers and after two years they still look awesome. The clear coating really makes a difference.

Looks great. In looking at the engine shield which side is the air cleaner filter located on? I want to change my air filter but don't want to pull the wrong side off if I don't need to.

You have one on each side but you can just pull up the middle plastic to see both.

DJWLDW

So we have 2 air filters? And you can change them both buy pulling up the center engine cover good to know.

Thanks

Yes, two filters. Yes, the engine (silver colored one), is held in place by snaps. You just pull up on each corner.

Looks great, a mod I've been considering myself, what kind of paint did you use? Did you need a special high temp paint?

SweetLS

Sprayed the calipers with etching primer and the used base coat clear coat system. Paint brand xlata which bought out DuPont about 2-3 years ago
