Cool. Hey for paint, did you use that Krylon 3-stage pearl kit I see all the time at Kragen or is that just a high heat gunmetal with high heat clear? Never seen those flavors at Kragen...

So wait, your base paint isn't high heat, but your clear coat is? Hmm, I wonder if that works okay? I was even trippin off using the 500-degree paint because they only had gloss black in 500-degree. My stock brakes were 1400-degree flat black. I really like that gunmetal color though...
Another idea that passed through my head was having my wheels painted black with a polished rim, and painting the calipers silver. Yay, nay?

A little OT, but Rich: you can cover the lip and paint the center gunmetal. A guy on supraforums did it. It looked HOT!

Rich: I love your chrome TT wheels...IMO, Gunmetal wheels only go well with white and black cars....

I was hoping to do this mod also. Someone asked what brand are the rotors and please let us know. Is it possible to see a list of parts used, so I can order them from a dealer? I've called a lexus dealer in Mission Viejo, and the calipers are $290 each, but since I have a coupon for 50% off, then I think this will be a good buy. Just need to know what else I need besides calipers and rotors. Thanks in advance.
