That looks great Jason. Nice thorough job.

 

Great write-up Jason!

Mine is not quite as good, but here it is anyway:

My writeup for G2 caliper paint

 

Just posted pictures and a quick write-up in the Gallery, but here's the pictures:

Rear Caliper:


Front Caliper:


My 02 next to my uncles 05 w/ Powercoated Rims, G2 Black Paint, and Red S2000 Decal:


And the obvious..."Darkside"!

 

i bought the duplicolor paint kit from autozone - cost $15!

 

Anybody got a link to decalgirl?

 

I have duplicolor too. The kit comes with much more paint than G2. There is no 'reactor' to bother with, and the paint goes on thicker. Having said that, there might be some sort of quality difference since the G2 is twice as much. Who knows though

 

its JDM yo! thats why its more $ lol

 

I haven't seen the quality of the duplicolor, but I can say that the G2 quality is really nice. However, looking back on it, and if the duplicolor is not a spray on and does not require a reactor, I would have rathered that...

I have only had mine painted for about 1 month now and already chipped the back...the G2 itself would NEVER chip...however when working on the calipers replacing the pads and stuff, trying to get the pistion back in, ya I ended up chipping the rears in several spots, very small chips, but disappointing non the less.

 

My pictures are above, but I put three coats on my calipers and still had enough paint to give another two coats if I wanted, but I felt I did a sufficient job, so the amount of paint isn't a problem.

I think paying $30 for a significant difference isn't a big deal and the paint looks great!

 

Black G2 and metallic silver decal girl decals for me too
