These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have read the threads on painting the calipers. No questions there. Last year my silver calipers on my C4 turned gold on the fronts while at a DE. I know the cause. The question is I would like to re-paint them with the hi-temp G2 paint. Is this a futile effort or will it last? Thoughts?

POST 2Original post

So far my g2 painted calipers have held up. its only been a year though

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you DE? Really need some feedback on this. Also I know where to get the decals but G2 doesn't have a 'clear coat' so a lower temp paint would not hold up(?).

POST 4Original post

I forgot to mention when I saw you that powdercoating would be much more durable and likely handle DE better. Downside obviously time to remove and cost.

POST 5Original post

Ive been wondering the same thing.... Tried asking on another thread,... Never got an answer..

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I would do the powdercoat route but this is a DD. Unless I take a day of vacation and work it right. Jon- I have searching for the answer too. Guess we have to be Mavericks and just do it.

POST 9Original post

You can try Alvin for their hi temp colors and clear coat...

i think you guys will be very disappointed if you try to paint your calipers and do an HPDE. many many people have done this before with bad results. here are a few from my past forums: http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php...pic=1747&st=0& http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?p=1423820 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?p=2438591
