Just have reservations about appling a coating that would hold in heat. They do look really good color matched.

To the OP, it's clear you rushed your project. Apply thin coats, and allow the recommended drying time in between coats. This takes around 15-30 minutes in between coats. This allows you to paint the other calipers while one is drying. By the time you finish the other 3, the one you started with would be ready for another thin coat.

So what to do if this happens to you and you are unhappy with the turn out? Can you sandblast it off without hurting the calipers and than have them powder coated?

Little brake fluid pulls it right off. Had a guy bleed my brakes and it ran down the caliper. I'll be doing mine again in another month or two.

After a two year hiatus this threads back from the dead!!!!! ........... After my calipers came out "just okay" with the yellow G2 kit, I ordered another kit so I can give them a fine sanding to smooth them out and hit them again.

The Ugly truth about G2 System Caliper paint

I highly recommend getting one of those prevail paint sprayers and apply the paint like that i recently redid my calipers also and they come out much nicer when you spray it!
