Did all mine today!

Looks nice 🏁

Any suggestion for a babyish blue colour? Gonna get new rims and put some blue nuts on them and felt like being matchy matchy.
Also is there a way to make it look like a brushed on metal?
Lastly, if I were to get my brz in december should i do it right before the win or should i wait til spring?
Thanks!

Duplicolor is easier to get
I'd say go with the G2 kit, it's a safer bet.

And before you start painting, remove the brakes, and grind/sand them til they're smooth, otherwise, they'll be textured and look like painted orange skin.
After sanding, clean all the pieces to ensure paint adhesion. Just re-assemble after the paint cures Et Voila!





Make your blue nuts stand out, paint your calipers a different colour, I'd say... black....

Attachment 16715 this is the G2 kit.

Looks good! But curious, any reason why you didn't paint your pads as well?

I like that idea. But for me I just figured having the blue calipers would try more attention to them and the nuts...sometimes i don't see the blue nuts til i really look at them.
What rim colour do you think goes best with blue nuts; gunmetal, black, matte black, gold

I didn't want to pull all my brakes apart and pads get replaced anyway. Like the high dollar brake kits, it all about the look of the caliper. I like it just to give a little accent color.

How did you make the black "FRS" on the calipers? decal or paint?

Thanks.

looks great!

Heat resistant decals. You can get them on ebay or in my case the guy who did the job had them printed somewhere.

Nice! I was wondering what red on red would look like.
Have you thought about swaping out side markers for clear ones? I'm torn. Don't like the orange & red, but the clear may stand out too much.
