Thanks for the pics! I have been considering doing this but wasn't sure how well it would match, and I can't find any orange caliper paint to look at where I live. Around here, you have a choice of red, red, or red.
I took my time on it, so I'm sure ppl could prob do it faster than I... but basically I jacked up the car after work one night (which in & of itself was scary to me) to remove all the wheels & begin cleaning the calipers. Also, what I didn't realize was the working temp is b/w 50-70 degrees - so I had to make sure my garage didn't get colder than that while I was working on it & during the 4-6 hr 'curing period' afterwords.
Anyway, you could prob do it all in one day easy.. Take off the wheels, clean the calipers real good, mix 'paint', paint em up, & wait. During the 'wait' time aint a bad time to put a good coat of wax on the wheels...so that's what I did. Hopefully this cuts down on the amt of noticable brake dust on em. The next day, I put the wheels on & was done?

I couldn't find anything but red either locally - and I didn't even know orange existed until a google search showed a recent press release from G2 releasing the orange color. Also, the 1st place I went to purchase it from didn't list orange as a possibility.. so I contacted G2 direct.
As I mentioned in the post - I'm happy that they stand out a bit, but I wouldn't have minded if it matched the "Hot Orange" more than the reflector orange.
