Painted brake calipers

Finally I was able to paint my brake calipers. I painted them yellow because that maches the car. I also decided to use Brembo stickers instead of Porsche. I used G2 kit and I did not use clear coat over the stickers. More pics on my blog @ myspace.

Hey That looks Great!! I was thinking about using the Brembo stickers as well on my Cayman .I tried the G2 Paint as well and when I went to do the second Coat to cover up the red I made a mess .you could see the brushstrokes and the paint started to Cure so i screwed up big time .Had to clean the G2 paint off with caliper paint remover and ended up using duplicolor .I liked the YELLOW of the G2 paint a lot better though .YOURS LOOKS GREAT!!!! great job

I was not sure how it is gonna come out, because it was pretty wrinkled after 2nd coat. I applied one more and called it. I checked it 3 hrs later and it had smoothend itself! In the morning it was great. I'm very happy with G2 kit.
Thanks for compliments.

i bought a set of the stickers on ebay and they have held up well...even with the chemicals used to clean the rims hitting them...really nice product and they usually send you extras.
