I got a red 8

would it look better to paint the calipers red or black?

also does that mean the more coast you apply the better it looks? or it will last longer? or more shiny? I am planning to color my calipers soon. but i don't know which brand and coast I should apply.

The G2 paint is the best I've heard of so far. It's very popular for calipers and yes, it seems that you only need 2/3 coats or so to make it very shiny, which it already will be. Thats the idea behind G2 anyhow, a bright clear color.

Just remember, the more coats of paint you put on the calipers, the more heat they will retain and the easier they will boil the fluid. Baaaaaaadddd experience! It's not nice to boil your brake fluid, it makes for really nasty front end body damage and a very upset insurance agent!

Hey viggen:

Do you see this in both the front and rear wheels, or the rears only?

Reason I ask is the only place I get it is in the rear. When I had my wheels removed to be chromed, I noticed the interior of the rear shaft nut was very rusty, and the rust runs down and gets on the interior of my rims. WTF !!!

My car was made in 2/04. and I have only had it for two weeks. I am taking it back to the dealer to see wassup.
