Thanks... that sure save a lot of time if only cleaning is needed. I read that the dupli-color kit requires surface sanding.

Any tips to make the job better and easier?

Questions to those who used the G2 on the sport (akebono) calipers. Is the finish smooth like the oem paint?

Do I need to use extra paint brushes?

Any tips on how to paint around the bleed valve/bolt area so that paint won't crack when I turn the bleed valve/bolt in the future?

Any close up pics would be appreciated. Thx.

I love this. Was thinking about blue myself.
Is the "370Z" painted on as well or something else?
