Mine did the same with the clear coat. I did the same thing you did. No worries. You didn't mess it up. No need to start over or redo anything . Mine cured clear. Yours will eventually dry clear; depends on drying temperature and humidity. Just be patient.

I'm just talking g2. Because its not just a paint. Its an epoxy and they expressly say do not clear coat. If you're talking vht, then nm.

If your not fussy just accept the way they look. Me I would do them over. I don't hurry I let the paint dry at least 6 to 10 hrs. in between coats but that's just me. And it depends on the outside temperature & humidity.

I have had trouble with clear paint looking milky whenever the humidity is high and spraying too much too fast. I have never had any luck with it drying out, once it's there. Like others have said, make sure your base coat is dry and try heating up the caliper before spraying the clear with light coats and waiting a little longer between coats. I want to paint mine as well but, will wait for cooler weather.

You seem to be rushing the paint job, not waiting long enough between coats. Did you say you are painting the front GREEN and the back RED?

VHT says to wait 10 minutes between coats. But I guess I don't care as much about the white but I messed up more on the brembo decal.

Screwed Up Painting Calipers

Regarding the decal... I had a similar issue. No need to redo the entire caliper. You can re-order another set of stickers... Then use a razor scraper to take off the old stickers; followed by the scotchbrite pads to sand smooth the area you're redoing. No loose paint edges. Red paint the sanded area again with multiple coats as before (you can skip the primer). Be more patient to let it cure overnight this time. Apply the new sticker after curing. Then clear coat again; multiple coats over all of the caliper to blend into one final clear coat.. The final clear coat blends to the existing clear coat where you didn't need to sand & repaint. It will make it look like it was all done at the same time. No worries.

Yeah I had the same issue when I did mine the first time. I packed the clear on heavy at one time, but it did go away like yours did. I recently did my calipers over and I took my time with the clear and it didn't turn white.
