May be a stupid question..but still need an answer

[WishyouhadaLS?]

So ive looked but cant find a pic. of rear wheels...i want to paint my calipers, my question is do you paint front and rear calipers or only fronts... please if this is a stupid question spare me...if any one has pics of a white ls with painted calipers please post...preferably red

It's up to you but it would seem really silly not to paint both.

Most paint all four im pretty sure Mlara1129 has his calipers painted search for his pics he has a white Ls.

I did my calipers (front and rear) in aluminum hi temp engine paint and the caliper mounts in black. Looks better than red IMO

Nope, I removed them and did it the right way. Much better result than on my '00 when I painted them on the car.

Ahh thank you sir.

Heres a few different ways you can paint the calipers

Or for a glossy/smooth finish, powder coat

The fronts with the red lincoln star will be going on sale in a few weeks.

I think pektel has only his fronts done. I think he said he wanted to just try out a pair to see how he liked it before doing all 4 and just never got around to finish.


I like the calipers and brackets done in one color, it ties both together and makes your brakes look bigger. Painting them 2 different colors separates the caliper from the bracket and makes the calipers look smaller, just saying.

Do the calipers interchange between gen 2 and gen1?

edit: nevermind looked it up that sucks,very nice calipers good luck with the sale.
