@Chibi ... I know nothing is spot-on, & usually not even close, but how close is this shade of red caliper paint to the "SS" emblem(s)?

It's a perfect match. My stripes are the same red as the badges and it matched pretty well.

Zeke, the red looks pretty good on a blue car, adds a little pop to it. There are some shots of the red G2 on mine in my albums.

The G2 kit is all you need, and a good wire brush of course. As others have said it will cover all 4 without any issues, I too had paint left that hardened in the can (after mixing you have 6 hours).

The G2 kit is the best caliper paint on the market.
