I got a 2012 Lexus ISF Mercury metallic and looking to paint my calipers red, I am unsure how the the red will look on a silver car. I do have 35 percent tint on the car and think the red will look nice. Any input from anyone?

Personally, not sure about red calipers.
I used to like red calipers but I think they're overdone. Maybe I just see too many cars with red calipers and I've grown tired of seeing them. The stock 2014 ISFs come with orange calipers which I think are a breath of fresh air. I think orange looks best on either White or Silver.

That's the color I want...orange. Been doing research and I saw a video where a guy painted his calipers without removing them.
He used orange caliper paint but I was wondering... Can engine paint be used also? Since it can take heat.

Wow, I love the candy apple red on the calipers!!! I think that's the perfect color of red. Stands out enough to be noticed but not in your face, like a fire engine red would be.

it’s your car, so do whatever makes you happy. I painted mind with regular car paint and its holding up great. I don’t track mind and it doesn’t see too much high heat, but if you are someone who track their car, i would recommend something that can with stand hi temp.
