I ordered some red brake caliper paint and have it on the way, off ebay. Now after visiting the G2 site I find that they have matching colors for Mustangs....dummy me , I shoulda researched a little before jumping. Anyway, it's coming and I want to know will red look ok on my Red Fire vert or should I order the red fire color for my car. Really want to get this on by this weekend for a car show, if I go with the red fire color I won't have it by this weekend. Whats a fella to do? :??:

IMO, brake caliper paint isn't make or break if you're trying to be competitive in a car show - unless it's hot import nights. Skip the paint until you get the color you truly want and just spend $5 on some brake cleaner/degreaser and just spiff them up for the time being. Eagle 1 Chrome cleaner actually works really well, too. I use it for my rims, but it's so strong, it actually made my brakes look brand new, no scrubbing at all required.

^^^If you have aftermarket rotors that are zinc plated,watch what you use on them,some of the products take the coating off and they`ll start rusting!
OP,do the have all the colors?

Bright red probably won't look that great on Redfire, I think black would look better. Try the Duplicolor stuff they sell at walmart and autozone. It's cheaper than G2 and I've used it before to good results.

Do them black. Red calipers are for anniversary models only.
