Sand them down so they actually look like they came factory like that…

bumpy red calipers suck…

Atleast do them black…

when you use the G2 you don’t need to sand because it’s an epoxy that expands to a smooth finish…

it doesnt expand… it just evens itself out…

if you paint it on a bumpy surface, it will stay bumpy unless you put a ton of layers on…

just get the g2 kit in black and do em up… they will stay a nice glossy black…

G2 is nice because it is Brush on… so you can get it really nice… but have 2 wheels off at a time, cuz you need to be semi quick about it… the can has a short mix life after you add the catylst

true, it’s not expanding foam, but on my evo it did smoothen out during hardening which helped make it look a lot better than when I’ve used spray cans in the past.
