Hi Guys,

I just got my RC350 in infrared and was thinking of painting the black calipers with either Red, Blue or Orange. I'm leaning towards the blue, but would love to hear your inputs. Thanks!

How about gold?

Brembo gold with red logo

I'm having mine done in the next week or so with red, and no logo on the calipers.
I thought about yellow, but it's too Ferrari.

Here's another vote for gold. I think it provides the calipers with a tasteful contrast from the car color and makes them pop.

That gold looks pretty good. I'm reconsidering my previous idea to have them done in red.

Thanks guys. However, the shop where I am going to have it painted does not offer gold color. They only offer the following colors:

What Brake Caliper Paint Colors Are There?

Most vehicles come with untreated and unpainted brake calipers from the factory. They are normally cast metal and tend to rust quickly and easily without a coating on them. We use brake caliper paints specially designed for the purpose that will enhance the look and offer protection against surface corrosion. These brake caliper paints are available in the following colors:

• Red
• Blue
• Black
• Green
• Yellow
• Silver
• Color Match

I'm having mine powder coated by a wheel specialist (not a body shop and not a paint shop), which is different from having them painted (or "different than," as they say on TV). I also think that powder coating offers more colors, although I am not sure. You might want to look into powder coating.

gold or even copper will look amazing!

If you're limited to these colors I'd go silver (with red "Lexus" or "F Sport" lettering to finish the look)

Hello!

Here are some Infrared RCs F versions tho:

Metallic Orange:




Blue Calipers:


I think red on red is okay, simple but too much red for me. If I was going to do my calipers, it's something that would pop-out. It also depends on your wheels and preference.

Thanks! I think the blue color looks really nice. It pops out. I'm really considering it among others.

Wow actually that does not look bad at all. I just couldnt see it in my head when it was first mentioned.

Yea, that's rjmalm's RCF. Last time he posted something, he already changed that bronze wheel into another bronze wheel. lol
My inspiration for the metallic orange caliper is from a Red GTR w/ Bronze Wheels and Orange Calipers. But I already changed my wheels into Platinum. It's a different look but I think it still goes with Candy Red RCF.
