Well did everything the same way. I just didnt take pad off the caplier.....

 

no kidding. i tore a small hole in mine while parkin at a wendys.

 

just wondering...has anyone used the caliper spray paint. just like take the whole caliper off and first spray it with white so the red comes out better.

 

i have a 92 civic and couldnt get the bolt that holds the rotors off. I ended up going to a brake shop for them to change them.but i believe i couldnt get it loose cuz the car is old and it is the original rotors.(the car only has 40k on it)i found it for 3200...45mpg with ac on. hahaha

 

should be able to change the pads..just follow the directions everyone used to take the calipers off when they painted them.

 

Has anyone else notice our brakes look sissy with the 18inch wheels on em? I hate it. I'm saving up for some willwoods or the powerslot big brake conversion.

Ummm...what exactly are you watching? This is a DIY thread, not really much discussion.

 

I can't convince my dad to let me do this, being as the shop fixing my car didn't do it like we asked. That's all right though, I wanted a gold color, unlike the red my dad asked for.
Super hardcore noob question - does taking the rims off the car affect alignment?

 

No.

 

where can i buy this Duplicolor kit, what store has them

 

Most auto parts stores. See AutoZone, Pep Boys, Advance...

 

I got mine at Wal-Mart.

 

thanks

 

Does anyone have pics of their G2 paint job? I would like to compare the two....G2 vs Dupli....

I did mine just two weeks ago..

I took my calipers off though. It is time consuming but alot easier.

 

can you also get the g2 kit at autozone, pep boys, etc...?

 

I don't think it goes by the same name or the same exact product, but I'm sure you could find it else where.
I chose G2 because a friend had used it and the results were awesome.

The price is pretty good less then $40 shipped.

 

i thought that the duplicolor set was spray on only, but i found this... is says brush on.

You can spray both products on after purchasing the aresol kit for them. It may be easier. I brushed mine on. I was up until 3 am doing it but the was because I was getting ready for Sibling Rivalry here in J'ville. I think they came out real nice. The main thing to remember is to take your time, and keep everything clean.

It was alot easier for me to do the work with the caliper off of the vehicle. I highly recomend doing this. If you don't have a bleeding kit then just go to Advance Auto Parts and rent theirs. (you get your money back...I promise)

Let them dry a full day before putting them back on. Easier to handle if your afraid of them getting damaged in anyway....
