G2 Brake Caliper Paint Kit

Has Anyone used this paint kit(Epoxy Style) on your Mini calipers?

Were you happy with the results?

Would you recommend the paint kit?

Any one know about the effects on Warranty?

Thank you all for your help!

I have used it a couple of times. It works very well and is very durable. I can't see it affecting the warrany.I think you will like it.

not trying to hijack

On a astro black what does everyone suggest. I was debating red but since the whole theme of the car is black should just do black?

Go red to offset the black. I have the lightining blue, and went red for contrast as well.

Anyone have any pictures of the painted calipers? Does it just look like ruffed up paint or is it smooth like the JCW calipers?

I've been thinking about getting this paint kit too, for my JB/W MCS... and as much as red looks good on a black car, and would accent it nicely, I'm contemplating whether I should try something different.

Anyone have anything to say on the blue paint kit? I'm thinking that blue calipers could be a unique accent for the car. Or it could look like crap.

Anyone seen/have pics of a car with blue calipers?
