^^^that would be sick, i would like to know also

 

Just did my front grill but left the "L" emblem chrome.. love it!

 

Its because this is seriously the best bang for your buck.
I just wanted black wheels lol, the OP saved me literally $800-$1200. Just plastidiped my stock rims. Looks amazing.

 

my friend did his calipers and so far no issues at all its been on for 7 months so far....

 

^^^ wow really??? anyone else have plastidip their calipers? I would want to paint them instead since I prefer a more glossy color to them, but that's just me...

 

Is that Blue Pastidip on the IS letters?

 

OH hai!!

That looks NICE!!

I wanted to do F Sport blue on SGM but was afraid of what it would look like! Any more shots?

 

Interesting.

I don't know exactly how lexus places their exhaust caps over the actual pipes but the break pad separates the disk from the caliper thus heat less heat is transferred from disk to caliper. Because the caliper part that is painted does not actually come into contact with the break disk (where all the heat comes from). I assume the specific heat of the caliper is very high so because the dip doesnt come off the caliper doesnt mean it will not come off the pipe. - luckily its like this so you can paint the caliper

If the actual pipe that transfers the emissions from the engine to the outside world is too close to or touching the chrome surrounding that forms our exhaust tip then the heat is significantly higher. If there is enough room between the pipe and chrome then there should not be a significant amount of heat transferred so plastidip might stick.

**Best suggestion is to just spray a little onto the exhaust, maybe under the tip so if it messes up the finish (from being heated) it will not be visible.

good luck!

 

I was thinking about doing this and now I know exactly how it will look - thanks!

 

Yes that's the blue plastic dip. I am think of changing it to darker blue.



here's on the front logo.

 

^ Definitely go with a darker blue.

 

Dang you Brociouz. You know I always listen to you. Grrrr.........

Thanks for posting those, NU350. It does look a little bright. I'd like to see when you do a darker blue. But I didn't know they even had a darker blue.

Oh and whatcha got there on the grille?

 

hmmmm, so if i do 4 coats on the back emblems, and then the grill chrome surrounding piece. actually how many should i put on either piece?

 

They don't have darker blue, I'm thinking of mixing the blue with
a tinny little bit of black in a bowl and brush it on. I will try it out
on the front logo first.

 

Okay cool. I'll look out for your pics.
