ImranS Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 anybody have pictures of a 02+ ES with painted calipers? (any colour) I'm finally ready to paint them but can't decide over black or silver I just want a clean look Any suggestions? (pictures would definately help however) :) I have the dark purle coloured ES with the newer 17" rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Use black if you don't feel like cleaning them, use a silver if you want it to stand out more, but be classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I painted my hubs and calipers with the G2 kit from TireRack. I used silver becasue that is what my car is. Next time I may do silver on the hubs and red on the calipers, but the red may standout too much. I don't know yet. anywho, here is a link to a thread I posted on CL over a year ago. If you wish, I have a bunch of pictures that I could email to you directly and discuss the process that I went through if you are interested.

ImranS Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 If you could do the email thing it would be greatly appreciated imranman19@hotmail.com That does look really good, I did end up purchasing black paint, now just waiting on some expert instructions ;) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I wonder how red would look? Would make them stand out more no? ;) Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImranS Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 red would suit the IS or the GS only I think, because they have a sporty side. The ES is pure class, I dont think red would work I chose black for a sublte but nice and clean look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
