Sunday Project Paint Calipers.
I used the G2 paint kit, it was pretty easy just follow the instructions. I did three coats and still had paint left. Just do very light coats timed at least 15-20 min between. Temp was 70. Finish was good, not nearly as good as powder coating but for $30 it's hard to complain.
My F Sport decals had not arrived yet but the weather was great today so decided to paint. Will have to take off the front wheels next week when the decals show up.

^ These are Hi Temp Caliper Decals. They go on really easy and are suppose to hold up to heat. You can find plenty of videos on YouTube showing how to put them on. Quite a few peeps selling them on Amazon, here is a link.

I know you mentioned 20 minutes drying between coats. After the last coat, did you put the wheels on right away and drive? Or is it supposed to dry overnight or something?

I waited about two hrs before I carefully put the wheels back on. I believe they recommend waiting 24hrs for paint to cure fully.
