This is what I spent today on. Used G2 Caliper paint kit. Only disappointment was that when I was doing my reasearch the G2 kit showed coming with a brush, came with a foam brush, wasnt too bad just had to pop out the wifes nail polish brush to use for the detail areas since I did not remove the calipers.

BEFORE




AFTER

 

You did a nice job...didn't get any paint on the pads.

 

you did a great job, now just lower that thing lol

 

^ ^ dido!! all tc are just begging to get low

 

Looks great! You did a good job.
Annd... no thank you for doing this before I was able to.
Gah! I have my Gold G2 paint sitting in my closet.
Unfortunately it's been sitting for a while... and now, this weekend, when I have time to paint them... It's friggin freezing outside!

 

damn clean... nice job...

^same. i have my blue g2 in my garage for almost 2weeks now. lolz might do it next week. lolz

 

damn u other g2 guys gotta get it going!

and finally i'm not the only one with it on now!!! great job! looks clean
...and a foam brush???? mine came with a regular one...

(i also have a new white kit available for sale if anyone is interested)

 

mine came with a foam brush.... lolz

 

really? Mine has a foam brush in it as well. Hmm. Although, I an sure it will work quite the same if not better... Foam brushes usually hold more paint and good for smaller broad areas. Bristle brushes are good for walls/bigger areas and spreading.

 

this is there official product photo (from g2's website)



...i had that brush

 

Mine looks like this

 

A whole lot of prep work, masking, masking and more masking

 

first thing that came to mind hahah

I painted my pads!

 

ok ive never painted calipers before however i have seen the caliper spray paint at like autozone and advance im guessing what you have here is just a like solid paint that you brush on?? now my question is did you remove the callipers in order to do this or just the rims?? how long does it take to do this on average?? where can i get this from?? and has anyone used the spray paint style before and which holds up better??

 

the best place to get G2 Caliper paint is on ebay...about $35 (retail is like 40-50? i forgot)

its a paint + chemical mixture that helps it stay on the caliper and is heat resistant...painted on with a brush provided

(it also comes with brake cleaner and a decal if your wondering)

no need to remove the caliper...just tape things off. you will have to remove all 4 wheels though...the paint is a 1-time application kind of thing.

application should take about 4-6 hours

....i have my own application + some reviews on my thread. also if you want to see the box click the link in my sig...i'm selling a white one

...oh and for spay ons...its cheaper but smaller color selection and it may end up chipping and needs to be redone in the future

 

thanks for the help kidjustin

 

mine was spray painted for like total of $8, brake dust tend to accumulate on em though, need low dust pads or not drive as much as I do

 

has anyone painted them yellow? i feel like it would look sick

 

good job man. they look real good.
