G2 is definately the way to go, however I think I've read about some guys just using some high temperature resistant paint and re-doing it periodically.

What color car do you have and what type of wheels? I would go black or silver instead of red. Our calipers suck, no reason to emphersise them.

I've used both, G2 is definately is the best. Will last without touch up.
Spray high-temp paint tends to fade or flake away.

G2 is good stuff and lasts.
I used the Metalcast by dupli-color when it came out many years back and its held up well.

I used this stuff and it worked very well. The directions are completely in Japanese but there's pictures so it's pretty simple. I'm not 100% sure if they make it in red though.


This is what the calipers look like now. They look more orange in the picture but really are more copper/gold in person.

Black high temp engine block spray paint here. Has held up great after a year. No fading.
