USB paint in spray can?
I want to repaint my calipers and was wondering if it's possible to have USB in a spray can?
Any other blue other members use that is similar?
Thanks!

I got some USB in the spray can to paint the replacement front bumper plug someone decided they had to have. It's not a perfect match but its close enough to not make it noticeable unless close up. Also did the engine cover with it and turned out decent.

I've used automotivetouchup.com on my other cars and the color match is pretty much perfect..I've painted grills and front lips with their stuff and came out awesome..As long as you prep and sand, the results will be amazing..

Now you can go with automotive paint if you are willing go this route sand calipers, degrease them using brake cleaner or acetone, use a quality high heat prime coat like VHT 3 coats then apply 3 coats of color match paint then apply high heat decal and finish off with 3 coats of high heat clear such as VHT 900F Caliper paint. This much more labor intensive, this will cost almost as much as just ordering G2 system, and will take longer to complete. As far as cost is concerned I paid $36.00 for USB color match paint when I did my engine cover.
I have tread when I did my USB ISF showing how I did my calipers with pics show step by step how i did them, I used G2 standard blue paint, high heat base coat, high heat Brembo decals, and VHT high heat clear for some added protection for decals and calipers. I also did this on my IS350 using G2 red paint and for any SFP owner out there you can't order spray in can for that color due nature of pearl paint I hope this helps good luck.
