    GC brake caliper paint vs. Duplicolor caliper paint

    IS there really a difference between the two, aside from price? I mean the glossiness and also the length of time the paint will stay on the calipers before needing repaitning?

      I'll assume you mean G2.
      And until someone paints one side with one, and the other side with the other, it's all speculation.

      My brushed Duplicolor-ed calipers and drums look just fine.

            This is a dumb question but is there any point to painting your calipers other than just for looks?Like is the paint heat resistant,thus improving your braking? I ask cus I've seen alot of CB7's painting their rotors red. Sry for asking but I figured I ask in this topic as opposed to making a new topic, thanks in advance.

                  personally they are a waste of money. I used regular old KRYLON spray paint, its lasted 4yrs so far. Just clean and prep good first.

                      It's really gonna depend on how hot your brakes get. With a Honda, lol, not that bad with as light as these things are. Some high temp engine paint will work. As far as the G2 vs Duplicolor goes, I can answer that for ya, as I've used both. G2 is a lot easier, Duplicolor will look a tad better, but you aren't supposed to drive for 24 hrs after you're done, where as I *think* the G2 kit was only 12 hrs, so...

                      Use some brake clean or some Duplicolor caliper cleaner before you do anything, get all that old brake dust shit off of there.
