I've had problems with the Duplicolor flaking off the caliper. I did the installation exactly like the instructions said and waited 24 hours before driving my car. It's not a big deal as I touch up the spots that flake off. If I had the chance to do it over again I'd go with G2, plus you can get them in your car color also.

Well, I used the dupli color brush on and it has been almost two years now and they still look like new...after I wipe out the break dust of course...

G2 is the best, hands down.

I've had problems with flaking and cracking with all of the sprays and other brands.. but no problems whatsoever with the G2

The $15 kit from wal-mart is just fine.

i got a 8 dollar spray at autozone and everything is fine after one year.

if you buy sh*t paint, expect to have problems. those who claim otherwise are exceptions to the rule, i guarantee it. the g2 kit is excellent, and will not chip or flake. the extra $20-30 is worth it to me in order to know that i won't be re-painting in 2 months like i had to when i used the auto-zone kit.

the reason they are brown is heat, not weather. You need the high heat paint or the caliper paint from any WalMart

I sprayed several coats of red engine enamel on mine and I've had no flaking at all.
