Finally got my brake calipers all done and damn this thing is so sexy! ![](http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/ItzFilyO/Smilies/yahoo1_zpsuvxgsrer.gif)
Never ever use wheel cleaner to clean ur wheels, my calipers got sprayed and started fading and it looked so bad that I almost traded in the GS again!![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

Now you've done it! You've brought attention to your calipers and you'll be trying to keep them clean all the time. ![Doh!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/doh.gif)
Nice job - they look good!

I just paint the rears red and didn't put any stickers.

This process took me all day to do and I was rushing, so I'd say give urself 2 days especially if ur new to this. Just clean ur calipers with brake cleaner and some light sanding and start spraying light coats of paint. Ur suppose to wait 10-15 mins after coat but I only waited 1-2 mins.

I think thinner spoke wheels will make it stand out more.
