Does anyone know where to purchase BLUE BRAKE CALIPERS without painting the original Brake Calipers?


If painting the calipers is an alternate choice, what maintenance is require?

You will save alot of money and labor if you just get your calipers painted. You don't even have to take off the caliper. Two cans of spray paint will cost you about $8.

Do a Search and you will find all the info you will need.

I meant which brands are durable to put on the IS300. I live in NYC when some of the driving is city roads.

Thanks

I get engine paint from my local parts store. You should get the paint that withstands at least 500 degrees.
