I would go with the G2 paint. I'm really not all that impressed with the duplicolor. I followed the directions to the letter and my rear calipers flake from time to time, but I just retouch them and they're good to go. Plus the G2 offers OEM colors.

G2 FTW. I used Dupli-color on my last car.....and on the Mustang when I got it. It lasted aboutthree weeks and than it began to chip off....and within 2 months it looked like crap. Also....like Flapony said they match the OEM paint. I have mine painted Vista Blue....and it even has the metallic flake. Looks pretty sweet.

Try to match your car color as close as you can. Be sure to thoroughly clean the calipers before you paint them. let the first coat dry for 15 to 20 minutes before putting on the next one. I used Duplicolor.

Go with the G2. I used Dupli color first and it flaked off in no time. I have a redfire also and the G2 redfire matches nicely. I would add my pics on here but i dont know how. Sorry.
