G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set RED G2160 - High Gloss

Amazing product! Easy to use and no overspray. Finished project looks factory new. Super glossy and with epoxy paint should be super durable. Spend $5 more and use better quality brushes in different sizes to fully coat those places you don’t want to paint. Take your time and pay close attention to detail. You will be satisfied with results.

Product was easy to use. Pour in the reactor, mix and paint your little heart out. More than enough paint provided. I only painted what will be visible once the new calibers go on. Super simple with the new calipers off the vehicle since they are all getting replaced. I did 2 thin coats followed by a slightly thicker coat so it could settle and limit the visibility of brush strokes. Paint is thin enough once mixed it will take multiple coats. First 2 coats left some open spots since it was filling in all of the divots of the calipers. Overall it took a few hours as I figured it out. That was with multiple interuptions from the crotch goblins I created. They are very shiny and coverage is really good. I should have put a few more layers on to get a smoother surface. It absolutely took shape of the metal. Flaws in the caliper making process are visible. Them again it it will be mostly tucked away behind rims. Took about 30 minutes after the final coat to not feel tacky. Left them for the night and by the next afternoon they felt solid. As I was re assembling the calipers I knocked on against the bracket and it took the paint off. Not a huge deal as I missed some visible spots anyways. Once I finished the original 3 coats I sealed the paint and put it in the fridge. Attempts at slowing the solidifying process. Slowed it and was gunky but enough to be able to "touch up" the few spots. Don't think it will be as shiny or smooth as the original but it will be pink like the mother of spawn asked. I bought another set for my truck and will update on the ease of process with calipers mounted on the truck. As well as pics of these from on a blacked out Edge. I hope this helps anyone who is looking for a decent price for a fun accent. V/R M

I recently used this brake caliper paint, and overall, I’m quite pleased with the results. There are several pros to this product. First, there’s plenty of paint included, which is great because the yellow color requires several coats to achieve a nice, even finish. The yellow itself is bright and vibrant, making the calipers really stand out. The paint also seems to be high quality, adhering well to the calipers and providing a durable finish. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The brush included with the paint isn’t the best quality, so I highly recommend purchasing your own brush to ensure a smoother application. Also, the paint is on the thinner side, so it will take several coats to cover the calipers properly, especially with the yellow color. And be aware that there is a bit of a smell, so it’s best to work in a well-ventilated area. Despite these minor issues, I’m happy with this purchase. The end result looks great, and the product performs well. Just remember to have a good brush and patience for the multiple coats, and you’ll be very satisfied with the outcome!

FIRSTLY - it does look purple in the can, it dries blue, I'll post after pics. This is an obvious concern, and a few reviews here made me sketchy. Wet paint and dry paint don't always look the same people, especially when it's special purpose paint with add-in activators. I used this a 2004 Mustang with Sonic Blue paint (one of the pics has part of the car in it so you can see the compare of the blues for reference). G2 will send you a color swatch free in the mail from their site btw, that's what I did. I also copied it from thier site and used Photoshop to place it on a pic of my car to give me an idea how it'd look. Got the package promptly, inspected it. It was packed like crap but unbroken. In the product box you'll find - A spray can of brake cleaner Can of paint, a little more than half full, this is so you have slush and mixing room. A glass vial of activator A paint brush. Brush itself isn't bad quality, but way to small for this use, it would take you all day! A Popsicle stick mixer, works fine. Instructions Other things you'll need and/or want - Better brushes! I got 1 inch wood chip brushes locally for $7 cents each, I got several. These worked well, but be careful as the bristles come out easily and stick to the paint. I also got some smaller detail brushes for the little spot the bigger brushes couldn't hit. Tape, I used Scotch Blue Painters tape, worked great. Gloves, masks. A can of brake cleaner, just in case. I'm sure the one they give you will be enough if all you're doing is calipers. I think I went through about 1.54 cans. I actually used some Brakleen I already had on hand. PATIENCE! Seriously, take your time on the cleaning part, it'll be worth it! Can't thing of anything else I used that was specifically caliper paint related. Here's how I did this... Read the instructions. Put the car up on stands. The paint is only good for a few hours after you mix it so you can't really do one caliper at a time. I was painting my rotors, dust shields and wheels as well on this project, so I took the calipers off the car. I did not disconnect the lines, just placed them on boxes under the wheel well. Cleaned everything on the car extremely well, steel brushing, sanding, steel wool, spraying, etc. Since the calipers were off, I didn't worry about taping anything off for that part. (I taped and placed cals under paper when spraying the shields) Read the instructions - again! Mixed the paint and activator in can using the popsicle stick. NOTES on color - IT LOOKS PURPLE IN THE CAN!!! It DOES turn blue as it dries, I'll post after pics. Paint time! I did one light coat all around. I took time, about ten minutes from start to reach the first caliper again, which is the coat time, perfect. Second coat was a little heavier, filled in gaps missed on first coat. Third coat, about the same heaviness of second, any heavier you'd have runs and dripping. Fourth, and final, coat. By this time, it was clearly blue in color. Three coats probably would have been fine. There's plenty of paint for more though, probably could've gotten a fifth still. Since I bought a ton of those 1 inch brushes, I'd used a new one for each coat. Allow to dry overnight before use. Since I still had the rest of project to do, it was actually 2 days before I put anything together again. Pay attention to your weather too. I started this in the morning, but being in San Diego, it got real hot, real fast. I did the whole project in about a week as a result of the heat and sun. I put everything back together, wiped some grease of the calipers - that was awesome, it just wiped off cleanly with a towel! I choose to add a "Mustang" decal to my calipers, this would be the time to do so if you choose (for your car of course). Remember to push your brake pedal a couple times before drive off. Enjoy! There are tons of vids available for this, I watched a few, learned a little :) Also of note, I did smell some paint burning when driving the first few days, especially when braking hard. Not sure it this was the caliper paint or the rotors, or the heat/dust shield (I used a different black caliper spray paint and high heat spray paint paint for those). I'd definitely recommend this product if you want a little extra class on your ride. It's been only a couple weeks since I applied it, but it still looks great! It's comes out a glossy medium blue. G2 also sells color coded paint too, for twice the price.

Great coverage and great color! The size of the paint can looks deceiving like it will not cover all 4 brake calipers on a car, but it covers well and completely. All 4 calipers received 2 full coats of paint. Hope it lasts years to come. Seems durable enough. Wear the gloves! Paint is difficult to get off of hands. I’m impressed

First and foremost, I should state this is my first time using G2 caliper paints. I have experience with Dupli-Color caliper paint systems but im not too fond of the longevity it provides. Having said that, This project completed today so longevity/durability is the one matter I cannot critique on yet. Product is very easy to apply. Instructions are simple. Work order was for a 93 NSX and the process went smooth. Im sure this can be applied with your calipers mounted but I had to change brakes as well and wanted an absolute clean slate for my long-term analysis of the product. See pictures for reference. 1. Took off caliper and brackets all four corners. Be sure to plug your brake lines so you dont run the risk of moisture entering your system. Note: Youl will have to bleed your system of air if you follow this procedure. 2. Sandblasted & sprayed them all down with brake cleaner to prepare the surface for paint. 3. Applied paint. Note: I saw a lot of reviews of their brushes not holding up well during application. I didnt want to risk it so i purchased me some quality brushes from a local hardware store. 4. Baked the calipers & brackets under infrared for about 4 hours. 5. Applied a second coat, thinner layer. Baked under infrared again for about 2 hours. 6. Coated them with Ceramic Pro Ceramic Coating (prob overkill buy Im a professional detailer & cant help it) 7. Mounted them and never looked back. I should caveat that you should plan to do all of your calipers in one go. After a 8 hours (lid was closed) the product became hard in the bottle to a point where its no longer usable anymore. There is enough paint in here for at least 8 2 piston calipers depending on how much you want to layer. Manufacturer may want to consider selling a smaller quantity for less of a price. In terms of a finished product, these suckers came out amazing and Im very pleased with the outcome. Time will tell how well they last. The car will never see snow but will be driven in other inclement conditions, Ill set a reminder to update the review in a year or so. One more thing regarding the seller. I purchased this product in June and opened the box in October of 2019. When I opened it there was no reactor in the box. Contacted AMZN and they put me in touch with the supplier. No questions asked, the supplier sent a new one free of charge. So kudos to them as well. Good product, easy application and good seller as well!

I used the G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint Kit in epoxy purple on our 2007 Saab, and I’ll say this right up front: this is not a “lazy Saturday, knock it out in an hour” kind of project. This is a “stare into the mechanical soul of your car and confront every trace of grease you’ve ignored for 19 years” kind of project. The color is awesome. Once it’s on, it looks rich, bold, and way more durable than spray paint. It gave the Saab exactly the kind of slightly unhinged, confident glow-up I was hoping for. Purple calipers on an older Saab feel like a declaration that aging gracefully is fine, but aging with attitude is better. Now for the real talk: prep is everything, and this kit will humble you if you underestimate that. Buy extra brake cleaner. Seriously. I used 4 additional cans before even touching the can included in the kit. I also used a toothbrush to scrub things down, and even then I still had to wipe grease out of the pin areas. You think it’s clean until this project teaches you that “clean” and “caliper-paint clean” are two very different life philosophies. Also, have extra gloves ready. Expect to go through at least one pair per caliper, probably more if you’re trying to stay neat. The included brushes, or at least the ones I used, started to fall apart as I went, so don’t get too emotionally attached to them. And keep acetone nearby for quick cleanup, because this stuff does not mess around once it starts setting up. That said, this epoxy is bomb. It goes on thick, levels nicely if you take your time, and feels much more substantial than a spray-can solution. It absolutely takes longer than just buying Power Stop calipers or hitting yours with quick spray paint, but that’s the tradeoff: more labor now, better durability later. Spray paint is a fling. This epoxy feels like commitment. So, would I do it again? Yes. Would I underestimate it again? No. This kit turned into one of those projects where halfway through you question your decisions, by the end you respect the process, and a week later you find yourself looking at your car in parking lots like a proud parent. Bottom line: Buy extra brake cleaner. Buy a toothbrush. Buy extra gloves. Keep acetone handy. Expect the brushes to suffer. Expect yourself to suffer a little too. But when it’s done, it looks fantastic and lasts.

Nice product. Looks like powder coat when done and dry. Easy to apply. Only suggestion is don't use the brushes that are provided. Mine left hairs behind in the coating and you can see them, fortunately I was able to pull them before the product dried. I had to recoat that area twice because it left a line in the coating. Other then that, went on easy and looks good when dry. Very shiny black.

This came up really well Thank you

superb

Perfect pink colour for my wife’s escape. I took them right apart and painted everything proper rather then leaving it all assembled. They look amazing and we have gotten a few compliments already. It’s been 3 months and no stone chips or peeling yet but our harsh winter will be the test in the coming months. As of now I would 100% recommend this product to anyone and the skill and difficulty level is very low. One thing I should mention is I divided the kit in half with a household measuring cup. Using half this kit painted all 4 calipers on the escape with 3 coats. If you pre mix the entire amount once the hardening has set in the rest is garbage ! Now I have half the kit left not yet mixed for touch ups or re painting after a few years

Great product. My only constructive criticism is this. It needs atleast 3 brushes. Preferably better quality. The reason is simple. Minimum 3 coats if not 4 available with amount of enamel provided. But, you need to wait 15min Minimum between coats. When the brushes start to dry they start holding onto the enamel. I found using a new brush each time made the application easier. Other than that. It when on as directed and my fiancee loves the pink calipers on her Rover.

Great results just take your time
