Not a G2 color selection. They only offer primary colors.
As for decals, the white or silver will hide.....and be a nice treat when you take a closer look. Black decals on the other hand, would jump out a yell S2000!!!
When painting calipers is it absolutely necessary to jack the car up onto 4 axel stands, and do all four at thesame time. or can you just do them one at a time? I am afraid of trying to get the car on four stands. is this a justified fear? i am afraid of the car "falling" off as I went for the 3rd or 4th stand? is this a dumb fear and an even dumber question?
you dont have to take off the calipers to spray paint....
cover the car in plastic sheeting....cut a hole for the caliper to poke through....mask with tape to get your straight egdes and make sure the pads arent visible.
Its easy and it takes no more than an hour or so.
I too just used a proprietry spray paint....cost me .99 a tin.
make sure you put a high temp primer on first and youll have no probs.
Just try not to get any overspray on your friends car when it's parked right next to you!
G2 brush on paint. I had 2 coats on while S2000GT was still masking and sheeting (HIS car. )

Question....can you get 3 coats on all 4 calipers with just 1 G2 kit ???
Yes. The trick is to mix half of the paint and hardener at a time.
Eyeball half of each into a cup, mix, let it sit for a few minutes.....then paint about 1.5 to 2 coats with the first batch.
Clean your brush in some lacquer thinner and take a break.
Add the rest of the hardener into the paint can, mix.....then paint the rest of the coats until you either get too tired, or the paint begins to harden.
Also....DO NOT use the supplied brush. It is pretty poor quality and the bristles ten to come out and get stuck in the paint. Go to a craft store and pick up a couple artists brushes. They are MUCH better and you can pick a couple different widths to get in the nooks and crannies!
