For $40 I would make my self happy with it!

I have seen the stuff - it appears to be really nice stuff - I don't see how you could be too dissapointed with it. I am just poor old spray paint guy myself though.

G2? It works VERY well... It is an Epoxy Paint.
The finish turns out VERY smooth, dirt and grease SLIDE RIGHT OFF of it. I used the red, and I was very very very happy with it.

Make sure to follow the included instructions to a "t", and everything will run smooth as a baby's A$$.

You'll enjoy.

Tip. - don't disconnect the calipers. don't completely remove from brackets leave one bolt in and swing the caliper down... makes it much easier.....

tip2 - decided whether you want your caliper BRACKET painted as well, or not, and plan accordingly. I DIDN"T paint the bracket, and I like how it turned out.

I just did this on Sunday with the G2 Kit. I think it turned out great. Like said before, follow the instructions and, as with most things, preparation is the key. Some pics are in my link below.

Nah, I'm sorry man... Not yet... I'm not even TAKING pictures until the car is completely done (cosmetically)... I still have to get my front bumper cover repainted and slap on my silver racing stripes....

I can guarantee you though... you can't go wrong.
