I painted my calipers yellow but i want them red now. I used the G2 system and was wondering if i could use to same thing and just paint over the yellow. enlighten me wise ones

 

Yep, no problemo as long as they have cured and are now dry.

I will be doing a diff color as well shortly and plan to scuff the surface and paint away.

Considering your color combo, your car will be much happier once your new color is on

 

I'm excited cause I found out I can get a rental car for work (since my drive is like an hour each way) for the next month, so I won't have to drive the S and I can do this to my calipers. It looks so nice in pictures. I've not done this kind of work before, so I hope I don't screw it up.

 

It can be a lengthy project especially if you opt to grind/smooth prior to painting; but you should love the look.

I've had my G2 kit on for well over 10k miles and only reason I am changing is to paint the rears black since the new Willwood fronts are black

 

Yep, you'll be fine.

It'll help to fill in any imperfections even more now too.

Have fun!!!

 

I love mine.

 

Show off!......

I still have to do mine.....I got all the supplies.....*sigh*

 

i thought you shouldnt grind polish the calipers because they "cast iron" from another post and that if you do they rust?? is from ur caliper picture obviously its possible and so u should recommend a type of clearcoat that survives brake heat ^^

 

Well, if you grind them and just leave them be, they will rust. If you grind them and they cover them with G2, it will seal them and they won't rust. Just make sure to cover every area you grinded with G2.

didn't a board sponsor offer a deal on painted calipers, like a core exahnge or something? I want to paint mine black or red, but i want them to look like they came factory.
