    what's the involvement in painting the calipers? cost? time? I think that can add a lot to your wheels. Weapon, how did you do yours? Maybe we could have a G2G to paint them

    I would like to do this also. We could do it at my house if we only have a few people 5-6 (due to parking constraints).

    the system says it comes with enough paint for four calipers so i don't think i'll have any extra. just search g2 caliper paint on google to find it. sunday!
