Thought I would share since I just did the G2 kit today...

before pic:


Looking at the rust on the front calipers finally got to me so spent the day cleaning/scrubing/sanding/painting. Figured I was going to have the wheels off anyways since I'm switching to the winter set.

after:


Notice the big paint stain on the floor =p. I used newspaper, but the wind blew that along with my can of g2 paint. Somehow I was still able to get 3 coats on each caliper.

I did mine using the G2 system, and I got the Decal Girl stickers.

I even took the extra time to dremel the caliper to have a smooth surface.

Unfortunately, this is the best pic I have.

I did G2 system and had no problem with the fact that it takes longer. I like spending time with this car

What did you use to prep it as far as cleaning before painting and did you use primer?

DO NOT USE PRIMER!

Just sand it, maybe give it a quick wipe with a wrag soaked in degreaser, a little windex, and thats it. Just try and get as much of the metal powder off. Then go to town with the spray can.
