G2 Brake Caliper Painting Kit...

Hi, I just ordered this thing for my coupe.

It instructs to put 2 coats on each caliper. I am planning on doing all 4 calipers but I'm not sure if there is enough paint for this.. Does anyone have any experience with this kit and/or any helpful hints ?

Thanks in advance.

i remember another member telling me that he also painted all four calipers with that kit. he also recommended painting two at one time. therefore, start with fronts and then go back later and do the rears. also, you should only mix only half the paint each time.

BUT PLEASE POST PICS WHEN YOU'RE DONE!!! : )

and remember, clean, clean, clean before painting. I found that simple green is the best for cleaning the calipers before painting. I didn't paint my calipers on my G, but I have on a camaro. have fun.

i painted the calipers on my g35 sedan and there was plently of paint.
do the front ones with 2 coats and then do the rear with 2 coats like z2g said.

Painted Caliper

Juste painted mine blue.

Bought G2 but the color don't match with my car.

Painted with Engine Enemel instead, there are more color choices there.
