Just wanted to clean up the look behind the wheels a little. Bought the decal kit from bombgrafx. I got three different sizes so I can mix and match to what fits best on the smaller GS300 caliper. Simple mod. BIG difference.

Gloss black first.


I tried this Decal first NAAAHHH !!!!!


Then a small logo with the lexus decal ................ Better


Finally a bigger logo with the same lexus decal....... Done.


Clear coat and assemble....



Wheels on, Done.


Cheap mod. Clean detail... Thanks for looking.

 

DUDE< How the heck did you do that????
I love it!

 

Did you scuff them up first? What paint kit did you use? What did you clear them with after you added decals?

 

nice work!!!!

 

1. Duplicolor caliper paint , gloss black
2. Decal kit from bombgrafx

3. Heat resistant clear coat

Yes I scuffed them . brake cleaner, and blew clean and dried with air compressor before painting . I used this for the clear.

Thanks Mike

 

Its a great cheap mod to do, when i did mine i sanded them down with 600 grit and painted using g2 caliper paint kit. To the op i dont like the decals you used, but good job overall.

 

Very nice work !!!!

 

Not digging it with the "L" logo. The small Lexus would have been cleaner IMHO.

Respect the work that went into it tho!

 

Thanks for the props everyone. Im gonna take the wheels off and inspect the longevity of the stuff I used next week. I'll follow up later.

 

I'm not into logos etc. put on calipers unless it is OE (like Brembo stamped on), looks cheesey to me but hey it's just an opinion.

 

I like the work you did. Looks great. And the logo's too, as they are Lexus OEM brakes! Very nice work.

 

Not bad, I would have sanded it down a bit to make the surface a little bit cleaner and smoother.

 

Nice work!!!

 

Looks good to me. Thumbs up to you.

 

Thanks again for the props. I'm gonna paint the back ones and leave it at that. Damn, they're thin.
