Thanks for replies... I'm undecided which color to go with. Dunno whether to go with blue (white lettering), white (blue lettering) or red (white lettering)... I've searched the forum, but there's not many pics out there with sukuza blue and painted calipers in 'em... anyone got some pictures they wanna share?

Also, anyone got any piccies of Ricks badges on sukuza blue?

Regards,

Dean

You can PM AA2000. He has some better pics that he is gonna e-mail to me.

In the meantime, here are the pics I took right after I did his calipers with the G2 Paint System, in Silver.



* Decals were undecided at the time of install.

All-in-all, I'd have to say the silver does not provide alot of flash. Rather, it really cleans up the look of the brakes, without having it peek out from behind the wheel and saying

The silver kit has alot of metal flake in it. After 2-3 coats, it really evens out to a nice even look.

Honestly, if you plan to get aftermarket wheels, I wouldn't do red. I think it takes away from the wheels. I am going to repaint mine silver or black.

Thanks so much for that S2000GT.... Cheers! Thanks for the PM too... I knew I wasn't alone over here!

D'ya know if that's G2's paint? I think it looks pretty cool myself. With the paint being that light tho, I'm not sure that white lettering would show up or not. What does everyone else think?

I dont think it is G2.....

However you can do what I did....just use a high temp primer...I got black BBQ paint rated to 1200degrees....then use any paint on top....make sure you clearcoat!!

No problems whatsoever!

FWIW...id so silver stickers....subtle!
