+1 on the G2. I have it and love it. I will get some pictures up once I get home from school.

Did mine with DupliColor too. I used duct tape on the rotors and playing cards to cover areas i didn't want to get paint on. Worked great. Paint goes on very smoothly just need to clean everything first.

i used the G2 kit on my new edge, worked great. nice and long lasting.

i used the Duplicolor kit on my current car, with a ton of clearcoat. took me two full days. i hope it lasts as long as the G2. Pic below.

Dam, i hope you don't get paid by the hour..

it took double the time because the clearcoat i got was old(only reason i could come up with). It turned the calipers milkly. I had to run out the next morning and get another can. Came out great!

Here are mine. Rotors done with black G2 kit, calipers done with Dupicolor red kit.

RE: Anyone out thier paint their brake calipers??

I have a question for those who have used the G2 kit. Are there enough supplies provided in 1 kit to do all 4 corners? Tires are on their way for the shelby cs69 wheels that have been collecting dust in my living room, so I will soon be in desperate need of some red and wasn't sure what quantity to order.

The G2 kit has a time limit once you open the can.

Used the Duplicolor kit on mine and they are flaking pretty bad this year.

Probably more a result of shoddy prep work than the product itself.

I will be re-doing them using the G2 kit sometime in the next month or so.

Thanks for the link. The other sites I saw that had the kit didn't give any thorough product info. Looks like they are giving you an hour per corner after prepping everything. Sounds reasonable.
