G2 caliper paint is the way to go unless you remove and powder coat them. The G2 paint is an epoxy based paint and has some gloss to it. The duplicolor kit and vht are ok.
I think I'm gonna look into the g2 paint. Sounds easy. Even if have to do every other year. I'm assuming powder coating is expensive plus I don't have time to have that done. Abd the covers I saw were close to $200. Are they worth that and are they easy to put on
I used the G2 on my Honda when I had it and it held up really well, after about 2 years there wasn't a single chip on any of them.
While you have the wheels off you might as well go all the way with it: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...ll-detail.html
I used the VHT on a tC I had and prepped them the same as I did with my Honda and in a year there were a few small chips. After I finished painting them I could tell it wasn't as thick or going to be as durable as the G2 and wished I had used it instead.

I just read your wheel well thread. That's pretty cool. I better keep things clean so i don't have to do all that work. Any chance I can paint them without taking them off
