I did mind calipers yellow, bracket red.

We disconnected and hung from springs.

Used the autozone break caliper paint.

What do ya think of the two toned. Car is black witness red racing stripes

I prefer red as well. I have a black car with black wheels and I'm probably gonna go with red.

That looks pretty good cause it's natural looking.

I think I'm going to do the calipers with the G2 kit in red and the rotor hats with the VHT caliper paint in black. I cant see getting another kit in black for that. But maybe I will, who knows. Any tips?

G2'd my fronts tonight. 5 coats on them and they look awesome. Gonna put the white brembo stickers on tomorrow and will post more pics.

This stuff rocks. Super easy to apply and self levels. Dries nice and glossy.

Looks good. I just wonder how the vinyl will hold up to the heat. I'd like to do this to mine just worried about using a vinyl rather that painting it. I was going to see if I could order the inverse cutout and paint it on perhaps. I'm helping my friend do his tc calipers with the g2 so after seeing how that goes I'll consider doing my own

Looks great! Did the kit have enough material to do all the calipers?

They say to have 2 kits if you have big brakes, so I have a second kit for when I do the rears.

It allowed me to get plenty of coverage on the fronts.
