    Default Painted calipers and engine cover

    Here are the pics of the calipers painted with g2 caliper paint. Happy with the product not with the color.

    The red and black are all I have seen. Its not horrible, you just wanted it to match closer to the car. You did a real good job though!

    I know what you mean. My blue caliper paint looks like purple in the sunlight. Also purchased from G2. Pretty good idea about the cover.
