Hey everyone,

Thanks for the comments, and to answer some questions.

Yes, I did add the Gtp badge, and engine cover but No, I didn't paint the engine cover both items were bought from "Jason" he's a clubgp member, and I have no idea if some models came with the gtp badge.

Thanks for the comment about the silver, and red! I'm planning on doing the Pontiac in the rear the same with everyother letter will be either silver or red. Let me know what you think!

And as far as Yoshi. Hey, I added 25 hp under 5mins! Can't beat that lol there's a little ricer in all of us!! Lol

Nobody posted on my other pics! Sad......

Yeah, silver cars look sweet when they are clean.

Your photos inspired me to get caliper paint, so I just bought some online.

Probably won't make it here for this weekend though. frown

You bought it online! Man, just hit up your local Checkers or autozone, and advance auto. Much faster, and don't have to pay shipping!

Lol but whatever works! What color did you go with?

I didn't know Autozone had G2. I wanted G2 specifically, none of the rattle can stuff.

I got Gold. It's about the only color that goes with Redfire IMO. My badges are kind of gold, and I've got gold Pontiac logos above my door handles.

Mine wasn't from a spray can.........but anyways just make sure what you picked up is high temp paint! Cause you don't want your calipers to start on fire!!!

G2 is high temp ceramic based. It gets the best reviews.

The stuff I bought at autozone works great too. I just didn't wanna order somethin online when I could just go around the corner and get some. They both get the job done, thats all that matter.

Sorry, don't meant to hijack your thread Jesse.

KEV-GTP I've just heard some people say the Autozone stuff chips or peels over time. I think Hercman is one of the guys who is thinking about redoing his.

I figure if I'm gonna do this, hopefully I'll only have to do it once. So I want something that isn't going to chip or peel. I haven't read any complaints about G2.

looks great nice and clean....i got break paint at autozone that nice red u guys might have seen when i posted my picks (bronzemist GT)....i like it so far no peeling!!

Re: Finally Pics! - 05/23/07 09:41 PM

I've used this caliper paint on three different cars, and I haven't had a problem yet. Idk, and about the peeling are they only putting one coat on?

x2 I've put it on 2 different cars. Maybe the chipping happened because people didn't clean it correctly. Either that or maybe one coat like Jesse said.
