Caliper Paint Question
Anyone who's done this...
I had my last Q5's done with G2 in Red.
My current SQ5 is factory in black, but am looking for a little pop I think.
Current thoughts on:
VHT
G2
Dupli-Color
G2 has a brush on and a spray on it looks like.
And it comes in a kit, which I assume has cleaning items with it.
I had thought about the VHT which you can get a cleaner, color, and clear coat.
Going to get the black for the exhaust tips as well. They have it in clear or satin.
Thoughts?
P.s.- the color is going to be a surprise

I used Duplicolor brush on. I used a foam brush for a smooth application.
The Duplicolor can with a can of spray cleaner, it was relabeled brake cleaner, and a cheap acid brush and a popsicle stick to stir it with. There was easily enough for 6, maybe 8 calipers.
I did the same on my Saturn Sky and it has been on and looking good for 6 years.
