Painted my calipers with g2. Love the color but the paint came out too rough for my liking. EBay decals and no clearcoat. I'll see how it holds up. maybe next time I'll have them professionaly done.

Hmm... Maybe a sign of what is to come? What do y'all think? Machined or hand polished?

Prefer that finish to the matt look.

Hmm, thinking machined, but I'll bite and say hand finished?!

That right there was done by hand. I was really asking if I should go machined or do hand polish. It would just be the faces.

Thought so!

if that photo is an example of what you can achieve by hand, I'd say you can go with that mate.

Looks good to me.

When are you installing those? I'd suggest replacing your starter contacts at the same time you do this...
