You can do this one man. Even if you don't like DIY stuff. Just make sure to cover up the rotors real good and remove the pads. Just get the paint on the outside of the caliper and not anywhere inside it. Your best bet is to roll it on.

search these forums for "paint+caliper" and you will find tons of threads
caymandive has a good one. there might even be a thread in the diy.

I think there are also threads on the scuff plates. You got it man.. go for it.

Personally I'd just paint the calipers black and not do the decals on them. Just do the painting yourself...shouldn't be too hard.

how much did you pay for yours?

$150 used on here

What you might do instead of applying decals is paint it a base color like white, then apply the decals and repaint black. Remove the decals and you have the Lexus decal logo as whatever base color you used.

If you haven't done this yet, a friend of mine got his calipers painted black. I can see where he got it done.. I think it was pretty inexpensive...
