Has anyone painted their brakes?
I have a super black touring and would like to paint to match the body.
Can i just use touchup paint?
Or would you suggest something else without having to spend the cash to replace the brakes?

g2 brake caliper paint...buy it on ebay or wherever...it comes with all necessary items...there are plenty of threads on this topic many ppl have done it

 

I did mine a couple weeks ago. The hardest part was jacking up the car. I used the G2 paint from Tire Rack, real quick delivery..If you order today you should have by the week end. I would get some smaller brushes it's easier to manuver around the small areas. Don't forget to get the nissan stickes that JDGraphics sell.

 

I think the G2 paint looks like crap, not shiny or anything. Go to autozone and get some high-temp gloss spray paint for metal surfaces, and high-temp clearcoat (or gloss). Jack the car up and remove all 4 wheels. Clean off the calipers, and dry them. Mask off the surrounding areas. I used large pieces of carboard and paper for the big gaps. Spray paint them, let them dry, then spray again. After it dries again, clear them. It will give you a uniform glossy color instead of a dull color. Also, the G2 paint doesnt cover the sides of the caliper, so it looks kinda unfinished. Just my thoughts.

 

I used the G-2 and my calipers look shiny. I think the G-2 system works great.

Hey, How are those Nissan and 350Z stickers on the calipers? Any problems with the heat? I saw a guy on ebay selling them, thought they look good.

 

I've had mine on for a few months and no problems at all.
