They really could use another coat or two. It probably would've been enough paint had I not been starting with dark grey. I was impressed how far the G2 kit went, though, considering how much surface area there is on these bigass calipers. They look good from viewing distance, but close-up isn't perfect. I might get a second kit to make it better meet "Spenser standards."
I purchased them (just a high temp decal from eBay). Most of the BMW specific decals were somehow ///M themed, and I'm not that kind of person. Even though these are legit Brembos, I'm not sold on the Brembo decals yet. I'm going to keep my eye out for a better BMW option.
So, your other question: G2 is a high gloss, high temp epoxy paint. It doesn't require a clear coat. The decals were placed overtop of the paint after it had cured a full 24 hours. With that said, once I make a final decision on the decals, I will mask off the fronts and give them a coat or two of high temp VHT clear just to make sure there's no unwanted peeling.

Glad it worked well. I thought it would be fine, but even so, nice to know it can still function for several years afterwards. You'll have to take some up close pics once you finish it all up, whatever you end up doing.
Any significant seat time with them yet?
