You were linking to the html page rather than the image, different sub-folder and extension.

Looks good btw.

Looks good guys! Did you use the G2 brush on system or something different? I'm waiting for my new tires/wheels to show up before I paint mine.

I have a question. I just got the G2 kit in the mail today. It says the shelf life of the mixed paint is 4-6 hours and you need to do all four wheels at once. Do i need to get another set of jack stands? [xx(]

Mike In Orange, IRPT

I used a kit that I bought from my local O'Reilly store. It had an 8 ounce can of paint, the cleaner, a stir stick, a paint brush and tape to mask around the calipers. I was really pleased with how they came out, and the kit was only $16. I would advise to go with any color other than silver, it seemed to be a bit thin and runny and the finish did not come out as good as the red. The longest part of the whole thing was jacking the car up and getting it on 4 stands. Other than that, it was fun and easy....did 3 Cruisers at the same time and had a blast! More than enough paint to do 3 cars with one kit....just need to get more cleaner.....helps with getting all the grime off....anything else, let me know!
