Thanks,

I took the car to my Body Shop Guy and he removed them completely and painted them with Acrylic Polyurethane enamel Paint.

good luck---did you pay at least 600?

these need to back and should have about 3 to 5 coats. It's a long process...and the OEM in japan is not red like that..it has an orange tint.

But of youre happy that's all the matters.

Had my calipers painted and can I say I just stare at them now!!! I love the outcome! Took them to a car aftermarket place who specializes in doing this and they did an excellent job. I was without my car for 2 days in the process. Had the windows tinted as well.

I did mine in the F-Sport blue that match my IS F-Sport color. I used the G2 kit that has held up on my 15 year old IS calipers.

Talking two questions ??

(1) Do the red calipers make it a "sports" car now?

(2) Does it stop faster with red calipers ?

Peace and I like red calipers


YMMV,

My remaining "sports" car has Pantone 293 C color ( Nitrous Blue ) brakes. I hate the color, but the Brembo brakes stop the car in a very excellent short distance.

Painted looks great if they are large calipers. But the ones on the NX are small, especially the rear. It’s best to remain hidden.

Looks awesome. I have the same F-Sport in white (mine is the 450H+) and was looking for pictures of red calipers. Now I'm thinking about it, but probably do them myself. Thanks for sharing!!
