Did you have any issues with the unused paint still in the can wanting to harden before you could get it all applied?

I've got red G2 that I'm waiting to apply too.

Nope, not at all. Just make sure you aren't applying the paint in an extreme cold or hot environment. You have a lot of time to paint. Just make sure you re-stir the paint again when you have set it down while waiting for coats to dry!

Yes it is more than enough to do all four, even if you have the Brembo brakes. I had 1/6th of paint left in the paint can when I called it a day. I had applied 3 coats per caliper. The left over would have been enough for another coat on 2 of the calipers.

However, 2-3 coats is more than enough to get the look you want.
