Anyone used G2 BRAKE Caliper PaintSystem Set? It is supposed to have high gloss finish. I am ordering black to paint Legend gen II calipers on my TLP.

I used the highest heat i could find and put several clearcoats on it. it does the job for me. there is alot of brake dust that gets the calipers dirty but a couple of wipes make very unnoticable. i jus recommend ALOT of clear coating.

I like G2's brush on over spray. 900 degree vs Dupli-Color's 500. I can get half off the listed price on Ebay but want to validate the high gloss no fade claim from G2 caliper paint. Anyone has experience using G2?

That's what I have, see my post above for pics. The calipers aren't as clean as usual, but pretty close. Easy application and looks great. I bought the cheap stuff to do my wife's brakes to give it a try and it sucks. If we weren't selling her car, I'd redo with G2.

Looks like some kind of nasty conversion from 4 lug to 5 lug.

I took the center cap off. Here's a pic with the cap on.

Dark Gray 2003 TL-S. Painted them red, looked great. Wife said no. Painted them black. Looks okay but I liked the red better. At least I got two coats of paint on them.
