Here a pic of my recently painted caliper. I have to admit, the G2 caliper system worked better than I thought it would. I had spray painted the calipers before, but the paint tended to dull or darken with use. I only wish that the paint wasn't so expensive.

The brembo logo is painted on using a stencil. I had to buy that as well, and it was kinda pricey at $10 a pair, but that's life.



I have other pics, but I have to get them from my digital camera.

 

Looks really good, well done

 

Lookin good man, I like the color. How long did it take you?

 

Thanks for the compliment. It took me a long time to finish everything.


First day is applying the G2 paint. And it needs a long time to cure. A lot longer than the spray paints that I've tried before. The instructions say 24 hours. Then I painted the brembo logo after about 48 hours. Then finally I did a thin layer of clear enamel over the logo to help protect it. About 2 weeks later, I finally had to time to go back and polish the caliper with buffing wheels. I wanted to smooth out the clear enamel over the logo. I also polished the rest of the caliper where there wasn't any clear enamel, but it was already pretty shiny from the G2 paint.

So this is after about 2-3 weeks of driving around with lots of brake dust kicked up. That G2 paint definitely is holding up.

I only used up 2/3rds of the paint for the two rear brembos and 1 front brembo. The front calipers came with red powdercoat, but one of them had some damage, so I repainted it. I also touched up a few spots on the other front with the paint. Amazingly, the red from the G2 is a perfect match for the original red powercoat.

 

looks great, where did you get the stencils?

The 3.25" are perfect for the front, and the 2" just fits on the rear.

This is the only place that I know has them. Maybe there's somewhere cheaper, but I don't know.

 

thanks, thats where I get mine, I just didn't think the 2" would fit. Now I know!
