I bought the G2 brake paint kit. It was pretty easy. Just about 3-4 hours start to finish. Just make sure the temp is over 60 and under 80 and the air circulates from outside or to outside. Light 1st coat, moderate the 2nd and if any parts don't look perfect do a third. By the time you paint the 4th brake caliper it will be past 15mins that you did the first to continue to the 2nd coat on the 1st caliper. I'd recommend not installing the wheels until the next day. Directions say it's ok after 2 hours. Too easy to accidentally touch the paint.

Hardest part is not being able to drive the car, leaving it up on jackstands. I need a bike.
