This is what he had to say to say about the experience…

Wow! Seriously, this paint could be used to paint a whole car.

I used the “VW Deep Blue Pearl” paint on my new 2012 Sportwagen with < 300 miles.

Awesome finish that looks like it’s an inch thick with really cool color shifts in changing light (deep blue to bright blue to deep blue) as the clouds move across the sky.

The photo from a distance doesn’t do it justice. With the naked eye the subtleties are obvious, and, even though the color is intended to be “low profile”, “car people” are asking me questions.

G2 Brake Caliper Paint System Set

I’ve received quite a few questions about clear coat lately. Specifically, which clear coat would I recommend for use with our G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set and our G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Set? My answer to this question is simple…

None!

Only inferior single stage ceramic based paint kits cure to a matte finish and only inferior single stage ceramic based paint kits require a clear coat to give them a high gloss shine.

The reason you are buying our high quality dual stage epoxy based brake caliper paint kit and not some inferior ceramic based kit is because our G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set and our G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Set will cure to a high gloss finish, so there is no need for a clear coat.

The problem with adding a clear coat is that most are not heat resistant and will yellow and brown if exposed to the high temperatures associated with the friction created from braking, distorting the base coat color and making it appear to be a darker shade at best and downright awful at worst!

To be honest… Even those clear coats which are heat resistant have a tendency to peel so it is really not recommended that you apply them to your calipers

When you purchase the G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set or G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Set you are already guaranteed a high-gloss, wear-resistant shine! Why mess with perfection?

G2 Brake Caliper Paint System Set

Let’s face it… Mistakes happen. They are a part of life!

So occasionally I will get an email asking if we offer a G2 High Temperature Automotive Paint Touch Up Kit. The answer is…

No.

Unfortunately we do not offer a touch up kit, as this simply isn’t possible. It’s not that we wouldn’t like to offer a touch up kit for our G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set and our G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Set! We would, however due to the nature of our high temperature automotive paints and the fact that they are a two-part epoxy application there is no real way to offer a pre-mixed touch up application as it would harden long before it ever reached our customers.

Unfortunately an un-mixed touch up application isn’t realy feasible either as the volume of materials required in order to get a good formulation is such that it would be about the same as a standard kit… Meaning the cost would be about the same as a standard kit. In which case… Why not just buy a standard kit?

Alternatively, there is more than enough paint in our standard G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set to paint four calipers with some left over. Why not convince a friend to paint their calipers the same color and use their left overs to touch up your own?

Some of you responded to that post asking if it would be possible to mix our paint in batches… The answer to this question is…

Yes and no…

G2 Brake Caliper Paint System Set

When you receive your G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set or G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Set, the amounts are pre-measured. In other words if you pour the entire jar of reactor into the can and stir (As is recommended.) you have the optimal amounts of both parts to achieve the high-gloss self-leveling finish that you have come to expect from our high temperature automotive paints. This is how our paint was meant to be used.

However being that there is a 4-6 hr. working time with our paint once the reactor is added, this question, like the one from the previous post usually arises from those who don’t own and or don’t want to invest in a good set of jack stands. The logic being, if you mix half of the reactor with half of the brake caliper paint you can jack one side of the car up and do the calipers, allow them to cure, and then repeat the process on the other side with the other half of the reactor and brake caliper paint. Sounds great in theory… However it doesn’t work out that well in practice.

As I said earlier, when you receive your G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set or G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Set, the amounts are pre-measured. So in order to achieve the high-gloss self-leveling finish that you have come to expect from our high temperature automotive paints you would need to split these amounts in half perfectly… This is harder than it sounds.

It’s definitely not something you can eyeball, it needs to be done by weight, and you’ll need a jeweler’s scale that’s accurate. Otherwise the formula may be skewed and the finish will be adversely affected. So yes… You can mix our brake caliper paint in batches, however it is certainly not recommended. It’s much easier to simply invest in a good set of jack stands (Which will run you approximately $15.00 at any chain automotive parts store), and make sure all of your prep work ie. cleaning the calipers, applying masking tape, etc. is done before mixing the reactor in with the paint.
