How hard of a process is this? How long did it take and what cleaning steps did you take before painting? I want to do the same and I bet this is A LOT cheaper than powder coating

My car had 300 miles on it when I painted them so no deep cleaning was needed. The G2 caliper kit comes with a can of brake cleaner, a small paint brush, paint color of your choice and paint hardener. I started by removing the front wheels then masked off the areas that i didnt want to get paint on. After I cut the paint and hardener in half because once you mix the 2 you have roughly 3 hours depending on the temp to paint them. I did the fronts one day and then the rears the next. Also it took me 3 coats per caliper to get a good looking coverage. I didn't remove the calipers and would have done a better job if I did. They look real good but I have a little OCD so the backs and areas that you can't see aren't painted but no one knows except me and the guy that will repair it one day. After you paint them you need to not drive it for a day or so to let the epoxy paint cure on its own.

Thanks for the info, it looks killer!! I just had the wheels off last weekend and those calipers are DIRTY. I probably won't end up doing this for a while and may end up powder coating in the end. Choosing color will be hard too!

do Deep Impact Blue calipers

do Deep Impact Blue calipers

I do think that would be sick and then do some red Brembo stickers or yellow, my only concern would be making sure the blue matched.

If you get them painted or powdercoated you can have it matched.

If they can match it perfectly then his will probably be my choice!!
