Took me 1- 1 1/2 Hrs per wheel. Cleaning the caliper with solvent before painting(brush) and masking the rotor, took approx. 20 min.
Curing time was 24 hrs :'( . Just waiting for Tony's decal to arrive .

have gold G2 caliper paint on order
what's the working time for the paint? i remember painting my calipers a long time ago and the epoxy paint hardened half way through. did you mix half first to do 2 wheels then mix the other half?
