need about 4 hours or so. they actually dry to tacky in about 15 mintues. 4 hours will let them harden/cure some. the package actually says to wait 48 (or is it 24) hours before driving...... PJK3 waited about 2 hours and had no problems...

yup. i also managed to drive the whole way home w/ VERY minimal brake use... lots of down shifting, etc.

i think it's 24 hours of cure time.

i'd plan to get the wheels off ASAP, use a wire brush to get off debris/rust and help the brake cleaner along, and get painting quickly... you'll need 4 jackstands.

you can hit each wheel w/ a moderate coat, move to the next, and by the time you're back to the 1st, it's ready for coat 2. i did 4 coats and called it quits w/ plenty paint left over, and smooth looking calipers.

Tire Rack sells it, and delivery from their La warehouse via UPS ground is essentially overnight.


i don't recall seeing it anywhere locally, but then again... i wasn't looking either.

Brian, I purchased a caliper paint kit from AutoZone. I think it is made by DupliColor. It comes with everything just like the G2 kit minus the sticker .. . I believe it was just $15.
