Geez, that stuff seems a bit pricey.

You can get the Duplicolor kits for a lot less, like here for just $16.

I first used a Dupli-Color spray paint in red expecially for calipers. Then I thought the red looked too retarded so I bought the better Dupli-Color caliper paint kit with the brushes and goodies to get more detailed in black. Much better IMO.

I too have the Dupli-Color Caliper paint kit. My friend has the G2.
Mine has chipped here and there yet his G2 is still going strong.
So you may pay more, but in the long run it would be worth it.
