Anyone here used g2 brake caliper paint to paint their calipers?

Strife · 04-18-2016, 09:08 PM

Just curious, I've been looking at some reviews/videos and for the most part all I'm hearing is good things + it's a much better looking alternative to spray paint. I'd like to paint the calipers on my Z a light blue (that's if I can find the right color which so far I'm having no luck).

I used it. Very simple to apply and looks great. I highly recommend it

Awesome, will definitely be picking some up. For prepping did you just sand down the whole caliper, spray it with brake cleaner, then apply the paint?

I used the G2 caliper paint about 3 different times now. The stock blue color has more of a darker purple-ish tone to it in my opinion and wouldn't recommend that color. The black, red, and yellow I have used and seen done in person which all came out great. The best part is the warranty as well. I had a few chips/scrapes that occurred after a year and G2 will send you a new kit if you take pictures and show the receipt of purchase. Overall great product.

Awesome to hear! Yea, I was a bit disappointed in the color of the blue. Was looking for a nice light blue to match the monterey blue paint on my Z but I'll probably just go with black the gloss looks awesome
