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

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.
