G2 Caliper paint.....
I'm about to order my pink caliper paint...
Just wondering if anyone has used this brand. It keeps popping up everywhere so im guessing its good... Let me know pleaseeeee |
G-2 is arguably the best on the market and the kit is very convenient.
|
sweet im ordering it.

I don't know anything about that brand, but are you planning on keeping the car for a long time? Pink on your car will all but eliminate any potential male buyers.
This isn't just aimed at you or this mod. Even if you painted them red, there are going to be people out there that won't like it. Any mods that are made to a car will limit it's resale value. |

Nice, you should put pink leds in your guages.

Used G2 on mine, very easy, just make sure you clean the calipers with brake cleaner and a wire brush. I used two coats and after 8 months they still look great.
Good Luck. |
I've used G2 for years and on a variety of car rotors (recently did my RX as well); it is absolutely a great product. Couple of notes: 1.) The can of paint base will appear to have too little paint, but it will cover all 4 rotors several times over. 2.) You need to do all 4 rotors at once because once you mix the paint with the activator, it will harden up. 3.) Thoroughly clean the wheels with brake cleaner, let dry & clean again; the cleaner the rotor, the better the adhesion. 4.) Do not apply the paint in very hot or humid conditions; paint will harden too fast. You should get about 4 hours or more under good conditions. 5.) Do not try to get perfect results with the first coat. Do one rotor after another, then go back to the first after no more than 15 mins and apply more paint where needed. I was able to get 5 coats on each rotor with the kit. 6.) You'll notice pretty quickly when the paint becomes unworkable as the paint starts to get very tacky. 7.) As for color, I've got to tell you that I've used several different colors, and the "red" is always the most stunning on a car. Good luck.//

I only got two coats of G2 before it started to get tacky and I thought I was working fairly quickly. But then I was just above the low (cold) end of the product usability scale back in April.

well i painted my calipers. about three months ago actually. ill put some close up pictures up soon
they look awesome. the pink is very bright and looks great with my car. i definitely recommend this to anyone. |
Long story short G2 paint is enough to paint the Brake calipers and rotors? with still some extra paint left over?
|
yeah. i used the DUPLICOLOR caliper paint kit. so far, it's been great...no problem and I had enough for my car and my friends' car. It's been 2 months and no issues. plus, the duplicolor is $17.99 @ AutoZone compared to $49.99+shipping for the G2.
|
There's easily enough to paint the calipers and the rotor hubs.
