g2 painted calipers on v6

hey all,

i purchased the g2 orange kit to paint the calipers on my camaro. was wondering if anyone knew though if there was a stiker made to fit the v6 calipers i could put on, like a bowtie sticker or chevrolet? Also i am planning on putting clear coat on them when im finished, will any clear coat work or do i need a special one? If anyone else has done this what did you use? walmart can of spray clear coat????

if you put clear coat on them, its probably not going to look very good after they get hot the first time, and the clear coat will start to "fog" over or get cloudy......the G2 is a epoxy based paint and will remain glossy for a LONG TIME.....here is a picture of mine, which are done with their orange G2 kit......they have been done now for a little over a year!

I have clear coat on mine (Used G2 first), then used a professional spray gun with an air compressor to clear them. The clear coat still looks nice and not foggy what so ever. Did mine about two months back. I can post some pics later today, I am at work at the moment.
