Calipers: What not to paint?
Hello all. Ordered legend calipers a while back and they should finally arrive this week. When they come I'm gonna paint them as well as my rears and all 4 brackets if there's enough paint. Everything will be painted while off the car. My question is where should I avoid painting? Also should I paint insides just to make sure there's a good seal and don't get chipping etc.?

None of them say Acura on the side unless you get the 4 piston brembo brakes off the tl or the 04-08 tl. Which is way more expensive, usually $300+ for calipers, another $100+ for brackets to make them fit, then you have to get 350z rotors, and you have to get the pads from either the rl of the tl. That adds up really quick. That is why most of us do the legend calipers.

Yes the RL mod can be done but its the same thing as doing the 3G Type-S calipers to fit only the RL Calipers are cheaper for like 200-300 bucks (But Same OEM BREMBO) the main difference is the Finish.
3G TL Type-S: Smoother Finish + Glossy Black Paint
RL AWD: Hard Finish + Gunmetal Paint.
This was a Great Combo for 365 bucks on the Accord Forums:
