I had bought the red paint kit a long time ago, but i just couldnt do it to the maxima. I felt it would look nasty on a blue maxima, so i finally traded in the red for the silver. im happy with it and it looks good to me.

puppetmaster, u return yours yet? =X

Hey what did you use for this and how many coats did it take to look ok. I am about to change my rotors and pads and I am thinking about doing it.
thanks

I used the VHM stuff or whatever autozone had. It works really good, make sure you put a few layers of clear coat on though if you want it to stay shinny.

Man looks really good..... add the Lip and Valance...

I painted mine with G2. Silver...

The paint i used was Dupli-Color. Got it at autobarn for $20 bucks.

I put about 2-3 coats on all the calipers. the Paint dried in about 10 mins if not less, but i waited 15-20 between each coat. When you buy the kit, you have enough to last you a life time... I had a friend with me at the time and he knocked over the whole can while i finished one side and saved a little by turning it rightside up, and still i have a lot left over eventhough more than half of the can leaked onto my driveway.

I'll post some before and after pictures later on when i get a car wash, my car is way to filthy right now

I think that you finally help me make my decision on what color to paint my calipers. I think that the silver looks sweet on our majestic blue cars.

i think silver works well on any colored car

yea i was happy i didnt go with red, makes the chrome wheels stand out more and looks shiny-stock, not too much.

heres a picture of what it looked like before..


nassty... couldnt put the rims on with that showing

PTP

Hey, did you disconnect the brake line or just do everyhting with it still connected? I noticed you said about 10-15 min to dry but just wondering how many coates you used?
And any suggestions on a good color to match a white body?

Looks great man! I have the same color and year max as that and wasn't sure if i was gonna paint them or not cause i wasn't sure how it would look. Now i know it looks good and what color to use. Thanks!

nyautostyle

no problem. I had the same issue for a while, didnt know which color to put on or to just leave it, so i just got the red.. then went with the silver as a test and it worked out great. Its hard matching up the dark blue with anything, it was either silver or black.

PTP, i just covered everything with towels, as long as u make sure the paint doesnt dip all over it your perfectly fine, just take your time and do it right the first time.

Looks great... I remember we had a discussion a long time ago about them red calipers... I never did mine either... I've come to conclude they are and ... I think the silver looks awesome on your car... might do silver or black myself when it gets warmer... most likely black...

Anyone want a red G2 paint kit? I have one for sale...
