This weekend I painted my calipers with G2 caliper paint. I ordered the basic G2 Red color. The can said red on it, and it looked red in the can and on the stir stick... However... it would appear that I now have orange calipers. This is after the recommended two coats, following the instructions to the letter.



Which reminds me of...



It is supposed to look like:




I am NOT happy about this. I'm waiting till it fully dries, and until I can see it in the sunlight to make my final call. If it stays anywhere near this orange, I'm going to repaint them with another product. Maybe I'll call G2 and whine.
