Did you use the G2 paint or what type of paint did you use?

Can you post a video of you kicking yourself in the head? I know we all need to do it sometimes, but I'm certainly not flexible enough. haha

Hahah lol I was about to post that too... I'd like to see that. Are you like that small guy (to be polite) in jackass?

Hey I do have a question thought: is the spray resistant to water and snow and bad weather? How much time will it last on the brake calipers exactly?
Sorry if it might seem as a nub question...

I like the silver calipers the way they come, matches my paint scheme pretty well.....but question, how does the stock silver paint hold up??

I used the brush on Duplicolor kit. It's not messy like I'm sure a spray on kit would be. With this kit you don't even have to take the calipers off if you don't want to. They have it at a lot of autopart stores. I bought mine at walmart for like $12. It's pretty easy to do and the paint is good up to like 500 degrees.

It is ceramic paint but I'm not sure how long it lasts. I didn't even use a quarter of the can of paint that they gave me. They supply you with brake cleaner too. This weekend I'm gonna put a second coat on. I'm gonna try the brake cleaner and see if it takes the paint off so if it withstands that it's pretty heavy duty.

I just used Duplicolor 1,200 degree engine paint. Only $4.95 a can. And so far i have used it on 3 cars. And still have about a 1/2 can so left.
