Anyways, im glad everyone is making use of my DIY. Never thought I would have this much views on the thing haha.

I dont know about people using different kits, but I can definitely vouch for the durability of the G2 kit, and I didnt use a primer. About a year and a half now and there are no chips at all and everytime I wash my car I just wash the calipers and they look just as good as the day I painted them
Yes, this DIY is great! I have a question tho, in the 5th step when you install the wheels back on you said to re-torque wheels to 80 ft/lbs, what did you mean by that? Don't you just tighten all the lug nuts back on? Might sound kind of noobish lol...
