Painted, Clean, Labeled Calipers/ Muffler

This weekend I got around to mess with the calipers. Also, the muffler was black and I painted it.

That came out nice.. is this the G2 paint? Spray or brush on? I have a blacked out G Coupe.. just trying to figure out to paint them silver, black or add a little color and do them yellow.

Do you have a link for the stickers? For those complaining about painting stock calipers.... Why would you want to own a 30k car if the parts are so "garbage" ??? I'm painting mine and I like yours

Stock single piston 03-04 brakes are adequate at best, fine for daily driving, no bueno for track days, you need to buy a $40,000.00 car for those brakes. I don’t mind the silver, the stickers, meh.., the poor workmanship, come on, if you’re going to do something, do it right. Save the yellow and red for real brakes, cast iron calipers look tacky painted any color other than silver or black.
