I talked to the Toronto location... the manager was saying that he has the silver in stock in that location.. but is unable to get anything else. So if Pro's wants he's good to go.
According to G2's site the paint has a shelf life of about 6 months... if it's in one of the new containers.. about 18months. After that the seal / gloss starts to harden and it's useless.
I'm not sure at this point... If you're going to order from tirerack.. then I'll get in on that... the black. If not... then.. I don't know... was talking with Al yesterday and he was mentioning that the trimclad crap (high temp paint) would work just as well... but... I'd still rather the G2 stuff... heat resistant to like 980' and it's garanteed not to chip or fade.

Was thinking that maybe we get the stickers and paint for the following weekend and focus on other mods this weekend. Gives us more time and there is plenty to do this weekend. I may do my hubs this weekend using duracolor. I will figure out all of the numbers and we can get a mini-group buy going. Jay is looking into this as well.

hmm...now im interested in painting my brakes....i want to do the hubs and calipers together if i do it at all. Black i guess. Just not red and not rusty is all im looking for to be honest. lol. So scott (it seems like you are organizing that too), i guess you can count me in for the group buy/install meet on that one as well.

uhhh... hate to break it to you guys.. but you can't do this as an install meet. You need the car up on jacks for at least 3 hours before you can put the rims back on... and even then... you have to let the car sit there for another 21 hours before the paint cures.
Try 'spain' that to the neighbours :p
I think I'll hop out of this action. Gonna look into alternative methods...
