So I am wanting to get my calipers paint matched. I have seen a lot of good reviews on the G2 caliper paint and I am thinking about going that route but not sure.

I got quoted $800.00 to powder coat my calipers. What did you guys pay for powder coated calipers?

cleaning them real good is main thing and letting them dry from cleaning agent for a while in sun if possible

I also used the G2, and am pleased that no brush marks were left. I also used a softer, small brush that supplied with just to make sure I had the best results.

$40 for Triple Yellow Ford paint. About 10 hours cleaning, taping etc. My wife's 2017 GT/CS convert's calipers look better than my factory painted Brembos!

G2 is good stuff. So far so good after 2 years

that paint laid nice and flat for brush application. Did you paint all 4 calipers or just the front of them? Was one can of G2 enough? How many coats did you do?

Thats a great deal. I just got quoted $800.00 and I have to remove them and re install them myself. I think I am going to do the G2 caliper paint.

Same here, used G2 paint and they have held up great. Thought it wouldn't be enough paint but was able to do 4 coats for all 4 calipers.

Looks great! Did you paint the whole caliper or just the front? And where did you get the caliper decals? I'm surprised they look just as good as powder coating. Nice work.

Hi All-
Question for those who have used G2.
What outside temperature do you recommend applying?

Thx in advance.
