Thumbs up G2™ Brake Caliper Paint System

I did my calipers, center disks and back metal plates yesterday night. My car is red but I deceided to go silver (personal choice, I did not want the calipers to stand out too much). The result is great! For those looking to use G2, it's very easy but it took me 5 1/2 hours to do the complete job. It's time consuming but it's definatly worth it!

for anyone considering doing this, make sure you get a good rotary sander. Or at the very least, a sander attachment for your drill. Sand down the metal, it will be worth the extra effort to make the calipers smooth (because the rough metal will show through the paint).

I sanded down my calipers when i painted them the second time around, much nicer
