The G2 stuff is 100 times better... You calipers will look like the first day you painted them forever...and they won't chip if applied correctly.

I've used both before. The G2 definitely is better in terms of longevity. I'm going to go with G2 when I do the Mustang calipers. Question is what color works well with a silver car. I dont want to do plain old silver or black.

I think red is a great overall color for brakes...

Of course you can get creative with bronze, yellow, and blue...but I always preferred red.

I just did my brakes this past week with Duplicolor Red. Didnt read this thread first. Ooops. They came out looking really good though. Extremely time consuming though. After a few days I did go back and do some touch ups so I can see what you guys mean about that. Oh well, whats done is done and they do look pretty kickass behind my 19" Saleen's.

I ordered the G@ awhile back...it has a date on the bottom of the package...Does G2 expire? IIRC, the date was past when I was first shipped G2...is this a "build" date or expire date...I hope it's not expired...that would suck

Pretty sure the G2 has an expiration date.

The reactor can go bad/dry up/etc.

yeah, they do look kinda funky if it was on a GT with no other exterior mods- but for some reason I think they would look okay my GT. My ride pretty much looks like a giant Hot Wheels car anyways lol





Great looking Roush BTW..
