I have a Black on tan 05 lexus es330 and i was wondering if i should pray paint the rims black or not. Ive seen people spray paint their brake calipers. If i were to would it look weird?
Cause i know a 02+ lexus es really isnt meant for modding out.
But since it is a black car i was wondering how black rims and white calipers would look.
Any suggestions on the looks and what spray i should use?

While I wont pass judgment on whether you should or shouldn't... Here is some great stuff that is very chip and scratch resistant... GunKote 2400 it is a tough finish that you bake on in your oven... VERY DURABLE!!! I have used this product before on my street bike engine... It wouldnt scratch with a key after being cured... Paint will have to be continuosly retouched... here is a link to check it out http://www.cleenboreusa.com/kg/kggunkotecolors.asp

Regarding how your ES would look with black rims and white calipers, maybe you could ask someone in the Photoshop forum to modify a photo of your car so you can see what it would look like before you go ahead and make a big, expensive mistake...

Spray paint will work fine on the calipers... and well the tires come off of course... did you go to the link and click on KGgunKote?

Nothing beats a factory baked on paint finish, and you'll wind up with problems later on. just leave it as is...black rims are very borderline in my opinion.

I saw the pic in the photoshop form. I think it looks good.

Its all up to you if you like how it looks. But definitely don't paint the calipers white.
