What did you use? :cheers:
Here's a closer pic of the rear. I also used a small paint brush to paint the raised CORVETTE letters.

Re: Painted Calipers!!! (rainsux89)
very nice....on my to do list whenever I can spare the car next spring.... too cold now.
I was thinking two tone also, but I was thinking black on the calipers and red for my brackets.
I like the painting of the "CORVETTE" on the bracket....I didnt know that was there...

Question....are you guys painting the "hats" on your rotors? mine look like poopie, but didnt know it would hold up......

Mine are painted gold (see pic above)

I did the "hats on the rotors" too!
Had to, the rust looked bad with the new wheels.
At first I did the calipers in red, but changed to gray, did rotor hats in gray also

Should hold up fine with decent paint. Did my Caprice in 90 and they still look good. 140K and climbing on milage. Intend to do the vette if and when it warms up enough.
