[QUOTE=84zz4vette]Got around to installing my rotor hub covers and painting my calipers today. I got frustrated trying to paint around "CORVETTE" on the front though...so I said screw it and painted over it. Next weekend I'll take out the dremel and sand he letters back down.
I've seen better jobs here, but hey......painting ain't really my thing, and they're MUCH better than they were.....so I'm happy!
Damn You! I see green on your lawn, all I see here is Fu@@@ng snow!
Looks Good.

Nice job. I painted over my letters and after the paint dried I carefully used a razor blade to get the paint off the letters. Worked great!

I just painted my calipers black a few weeks ago. I had a thread started, and somebody told me to use chapstick on the letters. So when you scrape it off with an exacto knife or razor blade it comes off easily. It worked like a charm!
