I wanted to get people's opinions on this kit since i bought it to do the calipers with. I did not go with the traditional red like most. I went with black since my wheels are blk and the decal i am putting on the calipers are going to be silver. I figure i don't want the red to stand out since the car is either blk or silver.. Let me know what you guys think of the kit

I was thinking about doing my calipers in yellow. Mine is seal gray with black top/interior. I plan on getting 18" turbo twists and having them panted black. But I think black calipers with yellow decals (or silver) might look pretty sweet with black rims.

see with my car there is a color scheme.. My front bumper air vents are meshed and painted blk. The side intake surrounding is blk but the slots are silver. Wheels are blk . The car is artic silver so there is no way to introduce yellow or red on the car. I went with blk paint since first i like the car to somewhat have a pattern plus the decals will show up more on blk with the blk wheels in front of them.

Jaay, thanks for the link. I did read that post and you did a good job. I'm curious as how good the product that clb0099 purchased?

G2 is just about the best thing out there besides powdercoating.

I just did mine using the G2 kit, and it came out like factory!!! It was easy, and the shine before using alittle clear coat was tops. I did mine in red with the white decals like JAYY. Put a light first coat on after cleaning with the spray, and waited 15 mins to set. Then went over with a heavy coat, and no problems. Next day, I put the decals on, and clear coated it. G2 , I believe is a thicker coating product, with a lifetime guarantee on chipping and flaking.
