Anyone know a good place that paints brake calipers? And how much is it?

The body shop I go to will do it. Call for a quote. Active Auto Body in Sunnyvale. Ask for Shawn and tell him Manny recommended you. He'll take care of you, he owns the place.

do it yourself and save that money
I did mine and it only cost me about 30 bucks and 3 hours of labor

All you need is 15 bucks for a caliper paint and some brake cleaner. 2-3 hours max, unless you go all out and remove them.

you need
-brake cleaner
-sand paper (only to rough off the surface of the caliper)
-spray paint or paint (make sure it is caliper or high temp paint)
-clear coat (also make sure it is high temp)
-LEXUS DECAL (only if you are planning on putting it on)

**make sure you put the decal before you put the clear coat**

clear coat is not really necessary, but it will protect your LEXUS decal

you don't have to take the caliper out,,just wrap the rotors and the surroundings

the best and cheapest place to do it is in your own driveway

good place would be your drive way, friend's driveway, your garage, friend's garage...althought I recommend garage, less wind + dust...

Well, I did it my self when i changed the brakes a few weeks ago. Remove the bracket that holds the caliper.
Was in a hurry and didn't want to clean up the actually caliper. It looks better than I thought, however when I put my stock GS400 rim back on the paint wasn't all that noticeable.
I feel however I'm cheating because I really want performance brakes but don't really NEED them. I like the look though of the perf brake systems.
Just remember MANY light coats, very light.!

will put up a pic with the rim on if you want to see the finished product. Like I said I was in a hurry and forgot to take that last shot of my completed work.

Here's one in Oregon with the washington state mountains in the background.
With the rim on you can barely see the red paint. I think i'm going to re-do this
and paint the entire caliper.
