I want to paint my calipers and put the stickres from Dysfunctional on. But can't
decide what color (for the calipers and the stickers)

Any suggestions?

Btw my car is black.

Definatly Red!

what about the sticker? I don't think you want me to paint my calipers red and put red stickers on it

I would go for the black/silver combination - either black calipers with silver logo or silver calipers with black logo.... Would look good on your car...

black calipers silver logo's

Leexus, i reckon you should go for the black calipers with silver stickers.

i've just recently painted my calipers and was thinking of silver stickers. What does everyone else think I should go for.

Thanks guys! I think I will go for black with silver stickers. :yes:

ukazn
I would go for white or silver

and the rear one..........

I have a Granite Sky IS 200, the best colour combination i have seen for calipers is chrome calipers with black stickers. However, i will soon be pinting mine black with white or silver stickers.

Does anybody have experience of removing the caliper assemblies rather than painting them on the car???

It would be good to disassemble the calipers as the little brassy bits on the shims would look good in their natural colour.

I painted my calipers black to go with my blue IS. And have the silver Lexus stickers on. It looks damn nice! People notice them,like when moving through slowly at a shoping center parking lot, they look down at the wheels with awe :yes::smilegrin:

And also at stop lights with nothing to do than to look at the car next to you I can see they notice it and look at them approvingly!

I painted my calipers without removing them. I bought a can of special caliper paint and some small paint brushes and sprayed onto the brush and the applied the paint. Several layers. Dont forget to clean the calipers first and put a layer of clear-coat ontop of the stickers to keep ít locked in.

Of course removing the calipers is the most thorough way but it's not bad at all painting them while on.

Chrome calipers?! :?:

Yes indeed, i'll try to get the thread and et you see the pics. As hard as it is to believe, this guy had them chromed !!!!!

Let me know wehn you paint your as i will probably be doing mine soon.

Would you bother with caliper paint, as mentioned in another thread? I think that Halfords sell it. Others mentioned something like Hammerite. What would you use as the clear gloss? I'd welcome suggestions as to colour of caliper/sticker on my Kensington green model

i have a sherwood green mk1 gs300 & i have been wanting to paint my calipers & by some stickers from dysfunctional but i'm the same, i cannot decide, i thought about gold calpers & green stickers. but i would welcome all suggestions.

thanks,
Zishan.

There's a car near where I live (not a lexus) which is dark green with yellow calipers - seems to work well.
