Personally, I think the whole Purple with Pink NISMO Sticker would rock ....... Especially on a white A/C.

NVM ... Momentary lack of judgement there .... Red with Black or White Nismo/Nissan stickers FTW.

Would be cool if you had a shop drill/slot your stock rotors. That would look sick.

Unless you want to buy performance ones, of course...

Black FTW.

For these exact reasons...

I used 3 coats of g2 paint, it has a nice, shiny finish when you're done.

You can get it on amazon for around 35$.

I'm painting my Coupe right now, I'm starting on the Rear Calipers.

I used to use VHT Caliper Spray but decided to try the Dupli Color Kit (Brush).

BTW, I went with Black this time (Blue on my last Coupe).

the duplicolor kit works really well (i didn't have to use the cleaner, i did mine the day i got the car :-p )

I've got red with the stock wheels and my a/c is precision grey. I can't figure out how to post a picture (sorry, im new at this whole forum thing), so if you want to see what it looks like just message me and I can email you (unless someone helps me out here :-\ )

I think the duplicolor kit sucks. they should give sanding paper with it. some big wide masking tape so one can cut out pieces in it. A better paintbrush (mine disintegrated. it should have latex gloves too and their paint doesn't dry up real fast too...

+1

I can't comment on the Quality, against VHT until it goes through Winter. I agree the KIT is a waste of time and money.

I'm not very patient I didn't use the Masking Tape and I hate Painting that I will like switch back to VHT (Spray) if/when I need to redo them.

Besides the Sand Paper and a better Paint Brush, if you have Dust Off Compressed Air, I recommend it.

I used the G2 on my Jetta VR6 Turbo a few years ago and my 05 Frontier. It still looks like new. Will DEF use it on my coupe.
