I wanna paint my calipers either red or yellow for my black is300. I was wondering if anyone knows what would be the best way to go about doing it. I saw a few pictures of a couple of them w/ lexus on them under gallery. I heard that they also make caps for the calipers now, if so, does anyone know a good website? Please write back. Thankss

When i painted my calipers, i just taped up the wheel REAL GOOD, and then went to work. I used 500+F engine paint to paint them. I used black, but i wish that i had used red, yellow, etc. b/c black isn't that noticible. If u can take the wheels off, i would do that, but i have had bad luck taking wheels off so....

Try this wed-site out, not as much taping off as spray painting and you don't have to worry about over spray or taking the brake caliper off . . . 
But the paint kit does cost 40.00 to 50.00 dollars.

I dont know if you guys have checked it out. But under gallery on page 19, some guy has red calipers w/ lexus written on them. How would he go about doing somehting like that? Please let me know. Do you guys think thats a caliper cap that he bought? Thanks

I painted my calipers red with G2 Caliper Paint. Very high gloss! (I put on 3 coats)
I bought my silver Lexus logos from GQGREEK for $20.00.
G2 or Folia-Tec is the easiest way to paint your calipers. Just take off wheels and hand paint calipers with supplied brush. They even include the brake cleaner. Very professional results.

Painting you stock calipers red? Adding a Lexus logo? Eh, sounds like Honda market stuff...
Seriously, black or silver w/o no gay logos...I mean they're friggin' stock brakes. It's not like they're AP Racing/Brembos or something...
Come on, do red when you actually have race brakes. Don't fake it...
