Hey, Fellow Xers,
Had a chance to try the G2 Caliper Paint on my X and was really impressed with the stuff.
It's a brush on caliper paint that dries true to color and as hard and shiny as enamel. The company guarantees that the paint will not chip or fade.
Just get your X off the ground and supported on jack stands all around and then using wire brushes, get all the rust and grit knocked off those calipers and in my case, the rear brake drum.
Use the included brake cleaner to spray away the mess and you're ready to paint. ( use gloves and mask as usual when dealing with brake work)
The kit comes with small can of paint, activator/hardener for paint, small brush, small stir stick, directions and G2 sticker.
The can of paint is small but i was able to do both front calipers and both rear drums times coats.
You'll need to take your X off line for a good 20 hours for this paint to cure completely. (Directions state 2 hours or so before replacing wheels and 24 to cure before driving, but after 3 hours the paint was still tacky and the paint cured to a nice hard finish in about 20 hours for me. working outside under car port. )
Having trouble with pics, but will post soon.
