since this thread is still kinda living... smart choice to repaint calipers a different color. did mine red and now want to change to yellow.

 

Will one box of g2 caliper paint be enough for 4 lsj calipers

 

it should be plenty.

 

Great I guess I can see if anyone here is selling unused box because why pay full price lol jk I'll probably paint them in the spring I'll put some pics up when i do

 

If you are painting them black just get the Duplicolor kit, it's cheaper.

 

Is it good quality?

 

I think so.

 

Yes. It's an enamel based paint making it strong. And there definitely is a lot more than needed in the can. I did all four of my calipers by brush, and I still have 3/4 can left.

 

So duplicolor is the way to go?

 

just painted mine over the weekend, while changing rotors and pads. used vht for the brackets and duplicolor kit for the caliper.

How long did it take you?

 

no g2 is the way to go ... quit asking questions and just do it already

 

I couldve walked over there from WI with a can of spray paint and had this done already in the time it takes you to decide this.. who would've thought painting calipers was so difficult

 

it takes 3-5 hours depending on the system you yse and how well you prep.

i took a good amount of time with g2 paint.

jacking my whole car up
wheels iff
brake cleaner/wire brush everything
mask off everything around the caliper you can as good as possible

taking your time to do solid light coats
~4 coats and i painted my engine mount while i was at it with the leftover

let it sit about a day longer if possible

good to go

 

I don't have much wiggle room with cost lol I wanna make sure I'm getting the best for my money XD dem college problems but rice thanks for the time info

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

took about 6 hrs, only since one came out bad so had to sand and redo it. advice is make sure you have the surface clean!! otherwise it'll start spotting. Take the extra time and do a good job. The quality of a good prep job in the end will definitely be worth it.

 

oh yea i found it easier to remove the brackets and spray them over painting them while they were on the car.

 

I did the brembo swap on my car and just painted the rear calipers the same color that the brembos came in
