Hey Dan, I don't mind given you an extra hand except I really don't know too much about brakes. Let me know anyways, I'm free in the morning.

Yes it must be G2 if you want it to be glossy and last for several years.

and tolerate (high temp 900F) your hard braking.

Michael Young writer for NissanPerformanceMag.com had this to say about the G2 system:

"The G2 Manufacturing paint is heat resistant up to 932 degrees, which is several hundred degrees higher than the Folia Tec brand paint. So if you're running track events, you can rest assured this paint won't start bubbling and running into your brake pads. Another great benefit to this paint is that it seals and protects against corrosion. We've also found that brake dust and dirt will not adhere to the caliper surface since adding the paint. When G2 informed us that the entire procedure was an easy do-it-yourself brush on application, we were a little apprehensive, but once we started the painting process we were sold. The paint brushed on smooth and easy, it was almost unbelievable, no brush marks what so ever"
