Just make sure u don't get the generic IS300/IS250/IS350 decals because the size will not look right (learned the hard way...)

if you knwo how to paint and do it perfect the brushed painting method is better. but IMO the spray is much easier and it usually comes out better if done by the average person.

G2 blue is close, but darker than f-sport blue. I don't think anyone will notice, came out great. I used the bombgfx for lexus decals.

http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2489099

I did some research online before I painted my calipers and found this thread on a Honda forum (I know...it's Honda...commence flame, lol). Truthfully, it's a lot of work and will be somewhat time consuming, but the end result speaks for itself. I did the exact same steps as stated in the thread and I got the same quality results...except I used black Duplicolor caliper paint w/ the white Lexus logo. If you have the time and the desire, this method works.
