G2 Brake Caliper Paint System Set

Every once in a while I get a call or an email from a customer wondering if perhaps their kit was short filled because the can is only about half full. I assure you this is not the case. Now I know what you’re thinking, but before you rush to judgment allow me to explain…

The G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set contains approximately 3 1/2 liquid oz. of paint and approximately 1/2 liquid oz. of reactor, yielding 4 liquid oz. total when mixed, which is more than enough paint for 4 standard brake calipers or two drums.

The label on the can may indicate 4 oz. but that refers to the amount of paint inside… Not the volume of the can itself! The can is actually an 8 oz. can! Upon receiving a kit for the first time it may appear that your can was short filled because it is not full to the top. This is actually intentional, this way you can add the reactor directly to the can and mix the two thoroughly without having to worry about spills.

4 ozs. of paint in an 8oz. can = Half full can!

See! I told you I could explain!

G2 Brake Caliper Paint System Set

I get asked this question quite a bit, and I can assure you that the answer is…

No!

The date on the back of your brake caliper paint kit is not an expiration date, it is actually the born on date. Your G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set is good for 18 months from the born on date.

In other words if your brake caliper paint kit is marked as JAN 10 on the back, that kit would be viable until JUN 11, and maybe longer. There is no expiration date on the paint itself, it doesn’t ever really go bad. The expiration date refers to the reactor, which may harden. If you have a brake caliper paint kit that has expired but the reactor is still in a liquid state it is actually still a usable kit.

G2 Paint Reactor

Some of you may remember that the G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set had a shelf life of 6 months. The shelf life has been extended from 6 months to 18 months based on an improved vaccum seal cap which is now being used on the reactor which has greatly increased the viability period of the reactor, thereby increasing the shelf life!

So rest assured, your G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set or G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Set is good for approximately 18 months from the born on date located on the back of the box. Beyond 18 months the reactor begins to harden in the jar, once this happens the kit itself is no longer viable.

If your reactor has hardened in the jar you still may not have to purchase a new kit. If the kit is less than 3 years old you can simply purchase a replacement reactor!

For our G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Sets you’ll need a:

1/2 Oz. G2 Brake Caliper Paint System Replacement Reactor

For our G2 High Temperature Engine Paint System Sets you’ll need a:

3/4 Oz. G2 Engine Paint System Replacement Reactor

If your kit is 3 years old or older it is recommended that you replace the entire kit.

Today we are showcasing Trevor Moore’s 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS. Trevor used our G2 red caliper paint kit on his Brembo brakes and had this to say about the experience…

I used the red G2 Paint to do my 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Brembo calipers.  I masked off the front face and painted the rest red.  It was a breeze to use the kit and they look great!

I get asked this question quite often, and I’m happy to say the answer is a resounding…

Yes!!!

Sandpaper in various grits

The painting process is really not all that different than a standard application… In fact, the prep work for applying the G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set is basically the same for all applications, however if your calipers have already been painted once before you will need to hit the area to be painted with some fine to medium grit sandpaper or scotch brite in order to rough up the area and give it some extra tooth. Remember… Your aim here is not to remove the previous coating, it’s just to rough it up a bit to be sure the new coating will properly adhere.

Once this is done you can apply the paint as normal by following the steps below.

Scrub the calipers or drum with a Scotch-Brite pad or scrub sponge and a bucket of water to clean as much brake dust, rust and dirt off as possible. Detergent isn’t necessary as you’re really just trying to remove the loose particles at this point. Allow the surface to air dry then apply the brake cleaner to break up the tougher brake dust and rust. Alternate spraying the caliper or drum and then brushing it with a wire brush. If necessary go back to the bucket of water and scrub pad to get whatever remaining brake dust you can. Allow the surface to air dry again then spray it one more time with the brake cleaner.

The surface should be ready for the G2 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint System Set application at this point.
