My wife wanted pink calipers so i bought this kit, hardest part of the whole job was taking off the wheels, calipers look great. It was easy to mix an apply, there is enough paint in the can for 3 coats of paint the first coat does not look all that great but when the second coat goes on you can really see the difference! Coat 3 just adds to the depth of the paint,now my son wants his painted orange, so guess ill be buying another kit.

Top Notch!!! Makes easy cleaning of calipers and hub even 2 years after application, only soap and water needed.

While this paint system is easy enough to use it's major drawback is the marketing. I've been a autobody hobbyist for over a decade now and I've never heard of a Paint product where you can't purchase the material and activator/reactor separately and in the quantities you desire.



By limiting the purchase to pre-mixed kits your throwing money away if you don't use the entire can of paint once it's activated. Which, after painting a pair of new rotors prior to installation, I didn't even come close.



Having more paint than you intend to use will usually make people apply more than is needed for the job. This is why in autobody work it's stressed to activate only that which you intend to use at that time.



No mention is made in the instructions as to dealing with corrosion/rust and/or if this product will prevent it from occurring. I guess time will tell.



All that being said, the paint does apply easily and flows out nicely. Drying time to touch is minimal (less than 1 hour at 70 degrees F). Should be a improvement over stock rotors if no rust appears.

I bought this kit for my bmw 325. I had all new calipers sent to me and applied G2 black paint. Messy product and drys semi fast but if you are careful and plan ahead, this does not seem to be an issue. Make sure to let it cure overnight in a warm work area. I like the end results very easy to clean when detailing and they look great.

Works great. Better than spray on, cause you don't have to mask the entire area. Might consider grinding your caliper smooth. Goes on thick. Make sure to cover the driveway or work area and wear gloves and clothes you don't care about cause I doubt this stuff will ever come out!

Great stuff though. I've had it on for over 8 months now and it's still as red as the day I put it on.
