Initially I purchased one G2 kit of Hawkins Blue... but purchased another just in case I didn't make it in time and the paint started to harden like other members mentioned. Fortunately I was able to provide two coats of paint on all four corners before the paint started to become tacky and harden. However, I was not able to return the second G2 paint kit via Amazon rules etc... but will keep it as a backup... Anyhow pics below from before/after... will post an update with the new decals in place soon!

Those turned out really nice bro!! Looks cool with your scheme you have going. Love your "jack" stands!! lol.

I just looked again, didn't see the jack stands under the car the first time, I was being silly, thought the jacks were the only thing holding the car up.

No worries. I can see where the angle of my pics didn't really capture the jack stands in place with the jack lifts. I have two red and two gray jack stands. As of now I only have three jack lifts holding the Camaro up but with 4 jack stands in place. I should probably purchase another jack lift "just because" to be PC. Ha! I always loved acquiring more tools. The more the better!

The Brembo's look great.

How do you like your Koni's? I am wanting to use Koni's with BMR lowering springs....

I really like the G2 system. It is easy to apply, and having used it previously on my Bandit Conversion, I learned to use good quality brush's, not the one's in the kit), mix only 1/2 of the contents, lay out a 1st coat, then mix the rest of the Paint and hardener and go back with another coat and touch it up.

It will probably never be as good as a quality Powder Coat, but the advantage of not having to remove the Calipers is a key benefit.

Thanks! As for the Koni's I love them! Been running them for for about 9 years now and they still ride well with the DSE 1.5" lowering springs.

I agree about the paint brushes... as for mixing only 1/2 of the contents.. I'll try that next time. Your Brembos look great also! I like the Gold color you chose. I was thinking of going that method with my Gun Metallic Frontier. Otherwise I would go with "Bronze" or Red. Not sure if G2 has the Bronze option unless it is a custom request?
