Default Caliper paint

My truck is three years old and the calipers are pretty fugly. So before the mustang's get all nasty I'd like to paint them. I plan to use G2 since the reviews are better, how many calipers will the kit cover? Wondering if one kit does more than four, since I should probably hit the truck as well. Although the front calipers are quite bigger. All they say on their site is the kit has more than enough for four calipers. Wonder if I should just get the engine paint kit instead. Also, has anyone used silver? Most people seem to like red or black. I considered getting the vista blue, but not convinced I'd like it, would rather go low key. The car is vista blue, the truck medium wedgewood, so silver should work for both.

One G2 kit will cover all four calipers. You have to do them all at the same time, so get the car up on four jack stands and pull the wheels off first. There is a wait time in between coats and as you go around the car painting the calipers there is enough time going from one to another to keep adding your coats of G2.
