+ Simple to use
+ Large can of brake clean
+ Good looking end result
What I don't:
- Included paint brush is worthless
- It is pretty expensive for paint
- Foam packing peanuts
Fairly simple well packed kit, paint, hardener, crappy paintbrush, decals and a lots of little messy foam peanuts.
Please keep in mind that this G2 Paint Kit only only one part of the entire painting process (the other is labor). If you've ever painted anything half decent you'll know that to get good looking results you want to put a lot of effort into preparation. What this means if you'll want to take your time getting your caliper surfaces spotless to give the paint a good surface to bond to. The kit includes a fairly large can of brake clean to help you do just that. You'll want to take a 3M Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Pad (not included) and work it until the metal is spotless. My calipers went from a graphite gray to stainless steel gray after a few brake clean / scrub cycles. If you don't do this well you risk having paint flake off in the future forcing you to redo the work.
Important note: Use proper respiratory protection, brake dust is nasty and you'll be kicking it up while cleaning and you certainly don't want to breath it in. I used a 3M N95 (not included) particulate mask but recommend considering something stronger since the fumes from the solvents (brake clean + G2 paint) had me feeling pretty nauseous by the end of the experience.
Once you've cleaned and optionally masked your surfaces you get to the fun part; painting. Pour the entire little jar of hardener into the G2 paint, shake vinously and wait for it to bubble and start applying. This starts a count down timer and leaving you with only 3 hours to finish. You should finish with plenty of time since you will probably spend a little over an hour coating all four corners (2 - 3 times). I *highly* recommend buying quality paint brushes because as soon as the hardener is mixed in with the paint it rapidly starts turning viscous and sticky the little paint brush that is supplied is poorly made and will not hold up as it gets thicker and stickier. I used some Behr's nylon paint brushes (not included) to give thin even coats.
The first coat of G2 is one of the most important and you should definitely heed the instructions and apply a thin coat. The instructions say to leave 15 minutes between coats for drying time. This should be perfect for you to go around and paint the three other calipers and come back and do another coat. You can use a slightly heavier second coat to fill in gaps in coverage. I let the second coat sit for a little bit longer and while the paint claimed to be self-leveling there were tiny ridges / rivers. I took a 3M 150 grit sanding block (not included) and smoothed those out. I added one additional thin coat to this and according to the instructions you're done. If you have decals this would be a good time to add them in. Otherwise the wait 2 hours and put your wheels back on. If you purchased scotch brite pads like me for prep you might as well take one (not the same one soaked in solvent b/c brake clean will damage OEM clear coat) and clean the inside of the rims; clean rims help reflect light / glow that will enhance your freshly painted calipers. :)
Important note: the instructions state you should give it 24 hours time to cure before driving, plan accordingly.

The G2 Brake Caliper Paint does what's expected! It was really easy to put on, just tedious as I suck at painting anything. It came out perfect for what I wanted, and it's been about 4-5 months now with no issues!
The only thing I can recommend is to make sure if you're gonna split the paint, DONT USE A RED PLASTIC SOLO CUP! Or any kinda plastic really... they give you the paint in a metal tin for a reason! I wanted to only use half as I heard it was plenty for the time given before it starts to dry up (~2 hr), and if I needed to use more I could always mix it up. I made a fatal mistake of putting the paint in a plastic solo cup, and it melted through after about 30 minutes. It got everywhere, my entire hands were covered in it when trying to clean up. I pretty much got all 4 calipers painted before it melted the cup, but then the second/third coats were wasted. Had to use the rest of the paint to finish the job, which I still had more than enough after the third coat. So using only half the can would've been ideal and worked had I not used a plastic cup!!
All-in-all, it's a great product and they stand by their word on it lasting! Still looks great, like the day I painted them. I chose Orange to match my car, and it successfully puts a smile on my face every time I see them :)
Do not hesitate to pull the trigger on getting this paint, just make sure you CLEAN YOUR BRAKES really well with the provided cleaner. Painting is 85% the setup, 10% brushing correctly, and 5% luck!
