Default Red Caliper paint job
Step 1: Brush up the calipers so that the paint can stick.
Step 2: Use the supplied brake cleaner that came with the G2 caliper paint
Step 3: Mix the G2 Caliper paint well
Step 4: Apply one coat(brushed) on all calipers and circle back for 2nd and 3rd coat if needed.
Step 5: Get some brake caliper decals to make it look real nice
Step 6: ordered the Mazda 3 stickers from http://sechemedia.ca/wp/
Step7: Enjoy the ride

Everybody could tell if it's brembo/stop tech or not though, kinda funny personally I love this color and would accent our little smiling cars pretty well

I think the OP did a good job but I noticed you painted part of the pads... hopefully nothing weird will happen since they get pretty hot.

I like the color of that big brake kit... but not for 6 grand. What do you think they did... anodize or PC... i didn't think PC could last with the high temps.

+1 but G2 doesnt have that color and that seems to be the go-to brand for caliper paint. Unless you wanted to pay double for a custom color. I don't... are there any other respected caliper paint brands out there? that possibly have a project mu blue??

Looks good! Did you use a spray on or brush on paint? I painted mine on another car (red as well) and I didn't bother taping anything off since it was just a brush on.

I might just get mine powder coated, hell I'm willing to spend 35 bucks more to stand out!
