so im going to be installing my rims over spring break, and im painting my brake calipers yellow. i got the G2 paint kit and was wondering if i can add an extra clear coat to the calipers once they are painted?

has anyone done this? is it really necessary to add more?

 

Do it cause I have heard of peoples chipping so a coat of clear will deff help with that.

 

Not needed, just lay on REALLY thick coats. (if its painted on with a brush, aerosol idk what to say)

 

I would think that several light coats would work better than laying thick coats on........that's how you get dripping.

 

Yeah isn't it the thick coats that chip as well? I plan on doing this in the coming month and am going to use aerosol with lots and lots of thin coats.

 

if thats the caliper kit from advanced auto parts or sum like that...its actually the color of a school bus....i tryed it...looks bad...but that might be a diff kit

 

is this what you used?

Dont need it with the G2 paint i used it never had an issue with it

 

nope...that looks like its pretty good...forget about my post hahaha...i might even try it..let me kno how it works

 

Do a lot of thin coats and let them dry completely in between.


Your going to get some chips eventually, but you can defintely minimize the amount with a quality job. Good luck and post pics when your done.

 

this is true

 

will do, thanks guys
