Does anyone know if 1 kit from G2 will be enough for all 4 calipers? The Brembos are a bit bigger than standard size but by no means huge...

I've always read here that there's extra paint left over after doing all 4 Brembos, even after 2 or 3 coats with the G2.

My vote is the color match G2 usa caliper kit in IOM. Then order yourself some high temp white brembo caliper stickers and BOOM - you have a unique and awesome looking wheel setup

Looks like you decided on the orange... good call. In my opinion if you were going to do them black I would have not done them at all. The black offers no contrast. If your are going to do it ... do it in a color that pops. The whole reason behind painting them in the first place is you want then to stand out. As for them changing color after some time if not factory painted... not sure about that. I had mine powder coated by Customs by Mike. These were done 6 years ago and have not faded a bit or changed colors. It does cost more, but you get a very robust finish.



This is when I got them done.

Well they didn't come out as well as I would have liked but you have to get close and examine them to see the imperfections with the wheels on. I could wet sand them but I'd need to add a few more coats to prevent sanding through.

As I've found out they certainly get noticed.
