after looking more, i noticed the can is the brake cleaner... and this was brushed on.. looks nice !

Soo Dupli vs G2 ... ?? i'd assume they are pretty much the same deal and last the same as each other.

Powder coating I'd think would last longer.. but dunno.

Did you paint over everything or did you sand them down?

I was thinking about doing this but it reminds me too much SRT dodge cars with red brembos..not that its a bad thing at all I mean it looks good...I'd have to paint it a different color...probally a IOM looking color.

That looks good man. I've done this on other cars, I just used a grocery bag and some masking tape to mask off everything but the caliper. Used a wire brush and some cleaner to get them nice and prepped and painted with the Duplicolor Caliper paint.

You can go to Sherwin Williams and have them mix some high temp paint and use a paint gun to paint them as well. I had a friend do that when we did his, and he got the exact color he wanted and it looks awesome. Still does today!

I was never a fan of the brush on Duplicolor paint. Duplicolor has many high heat paint that works great on Calipers. I used a paint called Metal Cast on My Sky when I did it. They look like Red Metal, instead of a flat paint. Check these out! Then I used a Vinyl lettering and carefully sprayed 4 layers of clear coat, letting dry inbetween applications. They still look this way over 3 years later!

That does look real good. I just ordered the Brembo decals so ill post pics after i get them in. Was debating on black or white and i went with white cuz im thinking of adding a white hockey stripe. Black would have looked good to though.

That looks a lot like the MetalCast Duplicolor paint I did my SKY calipers in.
