The G2 kit is expensive because it has everything you need to do a great job that will last forever. That includes cleaner, applicator, etc. I have it on my front calipers and it has held up to "substantial abuse".

When you figure that in it's not that bad. This is a part of the car that gets very hot.

someday i'll find some rims that i like and i'll paint the calipers. it def looks sweet when the car is moving :)

i'm holding out for some cheap light 16" rims or even 15's the 17's i had were far to heavy and the ride was horrible

i love the way my husbands looks. his is painted red. he just got a spray can kind from like auto zone or something. too bad they dont make bubblegum color in the can,lol. imma just have to buy that g2 kit and i may have to mix some white in with it to get the light pink color i want. can i use that same paint to paint the valve cover, and center console?

you probably could.

I think its a brush on though ... so you might not want to use it on the center console.

i would say bring the color to your local parts store and get them to make up a spray paint can for you :)

hmmmmmm...good idea. would look much better! i dont want any visible brush strokes. just gotta figure out where to take it...
