caliper painting....?

yea, i've used the g2 caliper paint on 2 cars now. it's great and easy to use. plus, good results. i ordered mine online somewhere....couldnt find it at my local pepboys
 
The G2 stuff is only $40 a kit. I used 2 :frown:

They're made in a factory in Mundelein, IL. I just found it odd that I've gotten off a train stop there before :tongue:
 
Good luck with the painting when you decide to do it. personally if/when i get my calipers painted, id either have somebody do them or have it powdercoated for the simple reason i dont have enough patience or the job =(
 
Very Nice look and finish, personally i did n;t take the decision because i was a afraid of flicker results after couple of weeks of use. I'll buy the G2 kits to see the results.

It looks cheesy as heck if you don't atleast take off the calipers. It makes for a LOT more work, but end result is you don't have that cheesy look with small spatters on the edge of the rotor or on the pads or the pad clips... I had to buy 2 kits and do it on 2 separate days because I took THAT long to do it.

G2 caliper paint has only 4 hours of working time, meaning after 4 hours after mixing the 2 part epoxy-style paint together (paint + hardener/reactor) it's almost unusable and jello-like.

I'll get better pics when I got the 20's on :wink:

I was thinking about painting my OEM brake calipers black like the pic and upgrading the rotors; give them a little update. My question is where did you get the infiniti decals for the brake calipers? Thanks

Doc is correct you can buy the paint at auto zone, napa, etc and it will say caliper paint. I did mine a while back and only used 2 coats. easy to clean and wash and they still look good. The job is easy, but it does require you to remove your wheels and if you choose your calipers. All kits come with instructions, brush, etc... and will need what ever the time is desire to cure the finish. The results depend on you and your patients.

I haven't painted my calipers on my FX, but in a previous life I painted my S2000 calipers with the G2 paint. You can have a decal made from a local decal shop. It's fairly cheap to do. Just apply the decal on the caliper and use a bit of clear to put on top to insure the decal sticks.

FYI- if you get a reflective decal it looks great at night on the freeway!

My S2000 calipers were blue with a grey decal (to match my Silverstone car). Miss that car, but not good for living in the shitty Chicago streets or snow :(
