So I decided to paint my calipers black on my starfire pearl IS350. I have done it before on my previous car so I kinda knew what i was doing.
I decided to go with brush paint. I guess this wasnt a good idea. look at how it came out:

Streaky huh. I got pretty upset so i let the paint sit for a couple of days and painted over them with SPRAY paint. this is how they looked:

then a day after I put the sticker on and a clear coat of Engine Enamel on top of them:

this is how they look finished with the wheels on:

I found that using a different brush then what comes with the kit gives it a nice finish. I feel its that hard/small brush in the kit. I got a 1" brush so it sped up the process and it looks just like how you sprayed it. Just for those who havent done this yet try this first as the spray doesnt hold up or last as long.
