Default Caliper Paint....

Just wondering how long it takes to do the calipers with the G2 kit....I am planning on doing it today or this week sometime since I am on spring break!

Mods: if this is the wrong place, feel free to move it to the correct forum.

Thanks,
John

it doesn't take long to paint, but i think they suggest you wait 24 or 48 hours to let it dry completely before you drive the car. keep that in mind if your S is your only vehicle.

It took about 3-4 hours start to finish. The paint was more than enough....actually I had a lot left over.
