Anybody try this product to paint their calipers? My fronts look like crap. I purchased some red for my previous vehicle and am thinking about using it. Any pictures? All the car guys I know seem to think the red would look good. Like Brembo's, without spending big bucks!

I used their product.

Actually there are several threads here somewhere that not only discuss this product, but explain tricks of application to ensure a really nice result.

I did mine in red and they came out pretty nice and the finish is rock hard and very smooth....muuuuuuch better than the engine paint they used to use back in the days...hehe.

Has anyone used old paint. Mine has a date on it and it said it expired. It's my fault (I never got around to painting) but wanted to know if it's worth trying or the job will come out crappy because of the expiration.

Had mine on a shelf down cellar for over a year, I had forgotten about it. It was well past the exp. date. I used it anyways and it worked just fine.

Mine sat in the basement for nearly 8 months as well....no problem.

Where do you get G2 and does it come in gold?

The EASTWOOD CO. mail order magazine. They have a website as well.

BTW: You're in luck, GOLD is the new color introduced this year.:woohoo:

Duplicolor just came out with a kit for $12.95 for four calipers.
I bought some and it looks just like the G2 I got last year.

Retail for the G2 is $40. I puchased on E-Bay for $30. It was shipped from a wheel/hubcap company in Denver.
