I used it and was very happy with the results. The red paint is actually shinier and brighter than the red Z06 calipers. I've had mine painted for about 4 months or so and they look as shiny as the day I painted them. I bought mine from X-treme Motorsports, and they were like $40.00.

Agree.. After 6 months they look like the day I painted them (red). Very nice gloss finish.

Re: Folia-Tech. Any Good? (wwashing)
I used the Red folia-tec on my calipers about 4 months ago and they look great, lots of compliments.
Its easy to do, just jack up your car, take off your wheels and brush on. Its easier to do if you can lift vehicle & remove all 4 wheels at the same time and paint all 4 calipers together.
I used about 1/2 of the product supplied and I had enough for about 3 coats on each caliper.

I purchased the red kit from Extreme in June, used a little more than half for three coats. Looks very good. :yesnod:

No complaints with the product here, I bought mine through Nate for 40$. If memory serves the on-line selection was limited to fewer colors than the Folia-Tech packaging suggested were available. There were gold and silver selections that might be more appropriate to some but they might not be available through all distributors.
