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

There are sellers on ebay with replacement "F" stickers for the caliper. I picked up a set just in case I ever needed them. Although they are not OEM, they sell them to be used on calipers.

checked mine and it seems to be a sticker. i think they changed it from Lexus to F starting in 2016 or 2017. i think....happy to be corrected.

Many of us, me included, put Brembo decals on our repainted calipers. IMHO, that properly identifies the brakes.

Been dwelling on this topic myself lately. Thinking of having them Powder Coated Ultrasonic Blue over the Winter.
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!)

It was an extra from the factory to get them orange, 2016 +

I used these decals after wrapping my calipers in 3m orange. Here is a vid of a RCF guy wrapping his calipers:

Looks good in blue!

I wonder how that blue would look on white vs the orange.

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.

Let me know if/what you learn about a shop in Houston that does this (quality/price?).... I've wondering about this for a long time also!
