so 1-G2 Kit did all yur calipers and a few cans of Clear coat. nice thanks

the reason i asked is that G2 emailed me and said i will need Two kits to Paint my 6&4Piston Calipers.. i will only purchase 1 kit since you did your 8/4Piston with no problem..

thanks

yah i only used one kit... try to have the car up and all wheels off and prepped before you mix the kit because the kit has some sort mixture ones its mixed you need to use it and cant let it sit... so use the brush to give them all two coats enough to just cover them all and if you have more left than keep doing them more until you run out... work more on the fronts sicne they are bigger... ones your done with the kit, let them dry and this is were you start using spray cans... have two at least and give each caliper an even coat until the brush lines and all that are gone and it looks smooth... dont spray in one spot for long or else it will run and ruin it and look like crap..... give light coats let it dry go back spray let it dry... (its all patient on this one....and if you dont have it they wont look good lol) after your satisfied with the look and they look smooth, and dry than go ahead and spray them with clear HIGH HEAT... give them 2 to 3 max light.... let dry over night and slap on your AMG stickers and your DONE ***NOTE (make sure you mask the area well were your spraying paint and clear because you could get over spray and stuff just a heads up....

good luck have fun, its a great project... i enjoyed it
