Painting brake calipers - New decals ?
Hey guys,
I plan to have my brake calipers painted orange to match the Molten Pearl on my car. My question is about the logo on the caliper. Obviously the "Lexus" name would be painted over. Are there decals that are used to replace this? The painted calipers I have seen from the factory have the "F" logo, which I like. Is this painted on from the factory or just a decal. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction.
Also, I'm open to any recommendations for a shop in Houston that specializes in painting the calipers and roughly how much they charge.
Thanks

Curious, why aren't yours already Orange if you own a RC-F? I thought ALL RC-Fs come w Orange Calipers (Why they went w that color is a mystery to me!)

If I wanted to have my calipers powder coated, where could I have something like that done full service? Can those that have done this please comment what you looked for in a provider? Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend powder coating if you ever plan to use the brakes hard and repeatedly. Cerakote is vastly better at surviving under high heat and works pretty awesome for brake calipers.
