-Double Dee-

Thanks! I used the supplied brush, I think I only had one bristle fall out. Maybe I was just lucky cause the brush they supply defiantly isn't anything good, but it worked for me! Maybe just to be safe pick up an extra brush just in case the supplied one falls apart on you. And remember that you only have 3hrs? before the paint hardens! Just follow the instructions and it will turn out great!

Justnspace or sharksbreath are the ones I purchased the same on your car? I'm almost leaning towards the smaller calliper cover but then again I recall in one of your threads you originally bought the small ones and in order to make it fit you had to order the bigger 9 inch ones that I got. Am I wrong?

here are my brush painted calipers with g2 white paint, brembo stickers are from ebay. i asked the seller for 4" wide x 1.05" tall since i researched and found that was a great size for the front calipers (one thread discussed sizes in detail). again, may be a little messy but i didn't want to mess with taking them apart, good enough for me (for now)

i put an order in for some chromium black xxr 530 wheels, so hopefully they show more of the caliper! let me know if you have any questions

Very nice looks like the decal fits much better that size. No clear coat for sticker?

yea i liked the size i got, it wasn't so big that it overlapped on the sloping face of the brembos.

no clear coat is needed, you paint wait an hour or two, then put the sticker on. the sticker is a great touch and you can get them in any color

GO PAINT YOUR CALIPERS, DAN! YOU COULD HAVE PAINTED 10 CARS BY NOW!

Waiting on paint so am stuck.

Awesome posts. Is there a consensus whether to use the brush paint or spray?

SharksBreath

personal preference i suppose.

i love aerosal spray cans tho...i feel like its easier to get even coats with them.

danl23880

I no this is annoying but today I did some prep work and sanded calipers and stuff so when paint comes this Friday all I need to do is Paint them. For the rears I am trying to figure how to install these brembo covers and man theses 9 inch ones look way big. I might be sending back for the smaller covers.

If you are gonna use the G2 kit, I would suggest getting one of those Preval sprayers at HD or Lowes to paint the brakes. Mix the hardener with the paint and then load it in the gun. And there is no need for a clear coat over the stickers, mine has been on for 5 months with no problems.

Look in this photo where my finger is pointing. This is what I am talking about (the clip on the 1 calliper for each front brake? Does it matter if it is on the upper half or lower half of the rotor. Obviously mine is on the lower. Please let me know. Honestly like I said that clip looks like it does nothing eathier way? Let me know

You're looking at the pad wear indicator. Can't say 100% but that might just vary by pad maker. The only way you could flip it is installing your pad backwards. Make sure your backing is facing the caliper.

danl23880

Thanks for the reply but I don't understand? ......

danl23880

Anyone. Hoping I am able to drive it. They don't serve a purpose just to show wear on pads and when time to replace correct.

geekybiker

Your brake pad has a metal back plate (the part the pins go through on top) and the actual pad material. The only way you could change what side of the caliper the wear indicator is on is by installing the pad rotated 180 degrees. Just make sure the metal backing is towards the caliper and not the rotor. If that's the case, I'd chalk it up to manufacturer differences.


Yes.
