Anyone know how close ruby red is for G2 paint match? Want to put metallic red on my brembos but don't want it to be super poppy; just a slight touch of red.
If you go to G2's main site you can have them custom color match your car.

Exactly. G2 did an excellent job of color matching the "tangerine orange pearl" for my STi caliper paint.

Are you guys hitting the calipers with a gloss clear after the G2? Like the Caliper Gloss Clear Spray from VHT or just the G2 application. Much thanks.

Love the way the G2 paint looks and holds up!

I'm going with yellow. Just to be a little different. We shall see how it turns out.

No, just three coats of G2 paint is all I did and they have looked super ever since.

My Stang is so YELLOW! I might go with classic red for the calipers. Not sure.

Finally finished mine, decided to go the anti-bling route and did black on black.

Has anyone used G2's custom Ruby Red color on their calipers?

I'm thinking about painting mine and I like the idea of matching the color to the color of my Mustang.

Thanks. :cheers:

I actually just came across one on instagram. Look up "rubyredig". I'm not sure if he used G2 or what but I'm sure you could ask him.

House of Grafx has larger Brembo stickers, which fit better on our Brembos.
For G2, while it is self leveling, it looks so much better if you spray it. You can buy the PreVal spray system practically anywhere (Home Depot, for instance) and it looks so much better and less "textured". 2 cans should be plenty to spray all four corners.

Looks great :) Besides just cleaning them, did you do any prep work?
Just brushed them with a brass brush and used brake cleaner.
Masked it all with blue tape. Took longer to prep them than to paint them.
