Caliper paint is readily available at most auto parts stores. I got mine at VIP. I got my caliper stickers on ebay and they seem fine. Just do a search on ebay for lexus caliper sticker and he'll come up. Quick shipping and cheap prices too.

I just had a thread on this subject a week ago.

The search function is a great tool.

Caliper paint can be found at your local automotive store. If they don't have caliper paint, use high temp engine paint. Don't forget to clearcoat.

i got my caliper stickers at www.is300.net ($8.50) ...it only took about a week.
i got my G2 caliper paint at www.stylinconcepts.com. ($39.95 plus shipping)..that also was quickly delivered.
i choose G2 caliper paint over the high temp spray paint at local stores, because it is a brush on and there was less of a overspray problem, plus brushing it on is a lot easier than having to mask up everything and you can be more detailed while doing it.
then, like previously mentioned, spray high temp clear coat spray (which i did have to mask everything)

the final product looks great and everyone says it looks factory done. not bad for a weekend project.
