    Re: Where to buy caliper paint? GTA

    the only thing im thinking is the G2 paint is gonna be like $57 or i can get the duplicolor for like $28 so even if the duplicolor wears out faster i can repaint in 2 years and it'll cost the same thing at that point... unless you guys dont think duplicolor will even last me 2 years lol

          Get the G2, I am on the hunt for some G2 too. I have to recoat every year on dulpicolor. From what Ive read, G2 is stronger and will last longer.

            TireRack actually shows you the brokerage and taxes in the cart, so there aren't any surprises at the door. They have been pretty competitive.

              Ya I just bought Kingsbone wires and got dinged with 20 bucks in duty fees from UPS. So that killed the special deal for me.

                  I dunno, but what tire rack showed me as the price at check-out was exactly what I paid. Didn't have to pay anything extra when i got it. The paint coats awesome and is easy to work with. I have never tried the duplicolor but i didn't feel like screwin around repainting them every year so i spent the extra and got the G2

                    I used the duplicolour and have never had to repaint them except when hubbie changed the brake pads and rotors I figured it was a good time to touch them up and wow they are so nice and shinny that paint no matter how crappy a painter you are dries smooth and dries super fast!

                        a couple of years - only touched them up as hubbie chipped some paint when he removed calipers to put on new brakes - otherwise they still looked great! The colour is red... bad pic as tires are filthy lol but here you go



                        found a cleaner pic

                          gonna pick up the duplicolor blue today after work and paint them hopefully tomorrow... my initial plan was to wash, and wax then paint the calipers, and remove resonator but so much rain coming up over here i don't see much point in washing it... probably still will i think my car is in desperate need of waxing... hopefully after this weekend i can get a progression thread up and actually have some progression lol

                              It was great out today. Washed the last remnants of the porcupine off the bottom of the car, washed the engine bay and the rest of the car. Washed my dad's car. Awesome!
