i have already searched this and my questions where not answered.
I am going to be painting brake calipers on my rx8. I will be buying this G2 paint. And it is noted that u cant let it sit too long or paint will dry. And considering i dont have a lift in my driveway. How do i go about painting all 4 wheels without paint drying. Idk how fast it drys so im sure you guys have done this before. So any tips on this? thanks much.

Re: brake caliper paint
I'm guessing you can't wait too long in between coats? So, I'm guessing that dry time is on the label and one caliper at a time would be the best option.

Re: brake caliper paint
i finally found some instructions for it. It says 4-6 hours of use time. I think ill buy 2 kits just in case. And that way i can really take my time. When i do mine on my mx i will just take calipers off and do it. But im scared to remove anything off the rx8. Those are some touchy cars. Lots of mant. to them. If anyone one here gets one ill tell ya everything not to do. Because if you slip up one time your screwed.

Re: brake caliper paint
I'm assuming the paint left in an open container?? Just close it?? Or is it some kind of 2 part paint? Then just don't mix it all at once??
