So... instead of painting my calipers yellow, I just decided to saty with black and change the lettering. I used to have the corvette name on the wheel painted yellow, but I like this look better...

May I ask what brand of wheel stripe did you use?

I'm Sold. g2USA seems to be the way. But the color code they want is the car color. I want the Stripe Color, Tension Blue code....Where to find?

Since Tension Blue is not painted there isn't a code to match.

What was I thinking, Your right!...I just ordered the "Blue" color swatch from them. I'll see how far off it is, make a call then.
It took 25-35 hours to locate a 98-99% color match film. I'm assuming since my car sat on the lot for 5 +/- months the color of the film
changed a bit from OEM...??? I did buy the fender hashes from GM :just in case.
Thanks for waking me up 1:25AM and I'm looking at snow in the driveway

Poster doesn't like the looks of yellow on blue, people posting pics of their yellow on blue Corvettes saying he's wrong.

Go to a body shop that powder coats, they'll have your car for 2 days max.

I painted mine when I had a C6. The C7 has a nice silver finish. I would never paint them. The factory finish will be the most durable. It's also hard to get a smooth finish unless you pull them off and spray them. Way too much work for me considering they look great as-is.

How have these held up ? I want to put them on my c6 grandsport I am going to paint calipers.
