If you have a black GS...I think you should consider red. Photochop it or check out other members. If you have Silver - consider baby blue -- mine is blue .

I disagree. A GS with painted calipers do not look rice at all unless it's out of place. A painted calipers on a non-lowered car look out of place - that's kinda rice-e. A car that looks like it's going to fly out of space - rice. A car with body kits hanging out everywhere - rice.

The painted calipers on the slightly or heavily modded gs needs a painted calipers unless it's murdered out - then a flat caliper paint will look great.


I don't know about clear coats though - I guess it depends on the color that is chosen. No matter, it's not rice-e.

This calls for a POLL!

Did you use clear coat after you use the Dupli-Color kit?

I painted my black gs wheel hubs and calipers silver. I used the Duplicolor brush kit in which silver was almost impossible to find anywhere. I must have called 30 places and not one of them had the silver paint brush kit and finally got one place to order it in which they put black paint in the kit the first time, silver must not be too popular. It turned out looking very nice and not too flashy and much better then the ugly brown/grayish color they were but it does take a while to do especially with the hubs. I did not put any Lexus stickers on the calipers.
