Advice Please On Painting Callipers

[onewackynode]

What's the situation regarding warranty?

Does anyone know?

My IS200SE is only 7 days old and I'd like to do this...

As long as you don't get the paint anywhere else ( like on the moving parts of the brakes ) Lexus can't possibly have any quibble with it, in fact it will save them money as they won't corrode :))

Nige your calipers are the same as mine mate!

did you also paint the wheel drums on the rear? I did as mine were a tad rusty and looked crap. With the painted drums it looks really nice and neat now :D

Will post piccys this weekend.

Thanks Steve. I'll have to give it a go - maybe this weekend.

Hi Dunkie (mate :) ),

Snap!

No, I didn't paint the drums, I guess they'll get swapped when the disks are replaced so I didn't want to go near there with the hammerite. Plus if I'd put the wheels back on before the hammerite was fully dry, it could have glued them on!

I'm very pleased with the black lettering on silver, cool but subtle.

I've since applied the layer of enamel that went on very well, and gives a smoother, shiny look to the calipers.

However, I've not since gone at the wheels with alloy cleaner as I'm trying to give the paint/stickers/enamel maximum time to dry/harden.

Look forward to seeing your piccys, particularly the painted drums.

I can't seem to find Hammerite anywhere in Sydney (Australia).

Thinking of Blue calippers wit, say, crome stickers.

Wouldn't that be cool on a Camonix White IS?
