Default Epoxy caliper paint - need directions?

I am considering using the G2 epoxy caliper paint and want to know what the directions are. I want to use it on my valve covers and water pump, not my calipers. Is there a lot of sanding required? Can someone upload a copy of the directions sheet?

Is the G2 kit good or is there a better one?

Thanks, -Dave

i myself luv the kit plan on doing it to my dd soon in red, make sure ot coat it more than once like the directions say makes it even out when you brush it on ....directions are remove all loose dirt, rust etc.....clean good with provided cleaning spray (though i believe any non chlorinated brake cleaner will work) and mix the 2 part solutions and brush on ....hope this helps man.... good luck

Once you add the hardener you only have a certain amount of time to use the paint, so be ready to apply it to whatever you need to within a few hours. I used it and have loved the results.

Ahh, this is good news. I bought the red G2 epoxy engine paint kit today. They say it's pretty much the same as the caliper paint - I am just hoping they give you more paint (because it's a little more money.) Anyway, we'll see in a few days.

3 years now and it looks like new.

Here are some pics: I used VHT black caliper spray paint on the brackets and the G2 red on the caliper itself.
