Polished calipers.....?
Hello everyone, new to the forum, but not to corvettes. As I'm currently driving my eleventh. Haven't seen any polished calipers and thought I'd share a little....did them about a year ago and haven't touched them since. Photo below is of a 98 with many happy miles...........

You can go another route and ceramic coat them. I offer an aluminum based ceramic coating called Chromex that polishes out to a near chrome finish without the fear of rust or the labor to repolishing. It will never peel, fade or rust and has a temp rating of 1,300 deg f. 179.00 gets you a set of four calipers and brackets coated. http://www.prodigycoatings.com/hitem...icgallery.html
