Here's is the direction that i used http://www.xenonmods.com/boxster/caliper/ I went with the Duplicolor red caliper paint kit as it already has everything you need maybe just buy an extra brake dust cleaner. I did the front two wheels first

My Ride: '05 545 Jet Black, Miro 111's, Painted Calipers, Slotted and Drilled Rotors, Ultimate Interior LED Kit, ACS Rear Spoilers (reps), HID 7k Fogs, Black Roundels and Badges, 20% Tint, Mtech V2 Angel Eyes, Ksport Coilovers, M5 Bumpers and Side Skits, ACS Front Lip (rep), and probably more on the way as you read this...

g2 paint kit barely has enough to do the 4 calipers, and in my opinion, should come with twice as much paint so you can do another coat.
