Thanks NYTMARE33. Mine is a daily so I made sure to protect her as much as I could. I didn't do a PPF on my 18 RS and I regretted it. That front bumper was peppered from road sand and grit.
The illuminated door sills make a huge difference for sure. Now I'm just waiting on my seat covers from Kustom. The website says leather but we'll see. They look just like the factory seats.

Oh yeah, definitely need to protect it if you daily it!

. Excited to see how the seat covers turn out/look in there

I should have them this week. I'll post pics.
These are them

So after EOS generated two tracking numbers saying that they've shipped my order, they now tell me that the seat covers are on backorder and it will be 4-6 weeks. Lovely

I did two coats. It’s not as smooth as power coating. But it’s not powder coating cost either. I had a couple of small runs that only I know are there. That happened because I am not a patient person and rushed the work. Take your time and it should be just fine.

Definitely on my to do list. The factory dark gray calipers get lost in there.
I had used the G2 on my 2018 4 cylinder Camaro and after 3 yrs they still looked great. But those calipers weren't smooth like the Brembos, so they were more forgiving.
Thanks for your input brother!

I did nothing, nothing in my ZL1 today. I opened my pool and went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch.

Original Buffalo. It is near the top of hot, but really too hot. Certainly not mild

I just put the Brembo stickers on so will see. I got 5 coats out of the can, last 2 coats just on the main surface. Was worried until after the 3rd coat. Be patient! Ended up happy w the look

Did you get 5 coats per caliper out of one can? If so, that's pretty good.
