I am more keen on painting them red, but some of my freinds say blue... What you guys reckon??
(I have got some Chrome Lexus Stickers to put on aswell)

I voted balck - sorry mate :(

black car, red calipers, chrome stickers - sounds a bit too much.

keeping everything black and chrome is classier (just my opinion - your motor! :D )

Keep the calipers black!! lokks far classier, especially with chrome stickers. If someone can tell me how to upload a picture, i'll show you my black calipers.

Go with black, or maybe silver,...
Red or blue is too tacky (sorry if some of you have red or blue ones)

Thanks for all your replies...


Looks like i'm out-voted with the red then -_- -_- , it's gonna have to be Black Calipers with Chrome Stickers, for that "Classier" look.. B) B)

just a silly question :

When you paint the callipers, and applied the stickers on it, if you wash your car with a carsher (high press cleaning), is there any risk of removing the stickers?

I'm a complete Modding duffer. I'm not even really into all the side skirting and stuff but I am interested in painting the calipers. However, like I said, I am clueless. So can someone answer be some questions:

1) What sort of paint is it and where do you get it from?
2) Where do you get the stickers from?
3) What colour would you recommend for a car that is Desert Quartz (Goldish)?
4) Is it easy to do? Do you have to leave the car up on bricks while it dries :)

Apologies for being a bit of a muppet.

TORRENT,IT'S NOT A HARD JOB JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND BE

METHODICAL AND THE END RESULT WILL BE WORTH IT :D :D

1)YOU CAN USE HAMMERITE SMOOTH,I THINK THERE LIMITED TO COLOURS,
ONCE DRY APPLY STICKERS THEN 2/3 COATS OF LAQUER

2)BEING A GOLD MEMBER YOU SHOULD KNOW(LOOK IN FORUMS).

3)IT'S YOUR CHOICE,I'M NOT GONNA TELL YOU WHICH YOU SHOULD CHOOSE.

4) YES?AND IT HELPS IF YOU'VE GOT AXLE STANDS.

5)STAND BACK AND PAT SELF ON BACK,TAKE PHOTOS :D :D :D :D

HOPE THIS HELPS.PETE :D

Wow! Thanks for that as I was set to buy the back with silver stickers. Silver calipers with black stickers it is then. I have found places that sell the paint, but where do you get the stickers from?

Apologies for the novice questions.
