Default Caliper Paint: Check this out first!!

Hi Guys -

Decided to paint my calipers with G2. Love this product! What did you use?? How'd it turn out?

My G2 experience... without removing the calipers!!

I wanted blue calipers to better match my silver and gunmetal grey car. No paint caliper kits with blue were available at the time. I used Chevrolet blue engine paint in a spray can. Been on the car for a year now with great results. Cheaper than the paint caliper kits too.

Inferno Orange from G2 - pretty dead on match.

I went the G2 route as well. After 1 year including track events it's held up well.

Thanks for the video. I have the G2 kit in my garage now. Just waiting for a nice, warm day now. I am so excited.
