Caliper Colors
Struggling on which color to paint my calipers so thought i'd ask for input 
00 MY Vert going with C6 Z06 Wheels (Chrome of course) Updating rotors to Drilled & Slotted too
Now for the caliper colors....
Yellow?
Red?
or
Black with Yellow Lettering? or just sand the letters back to normal.
Does anyone know if the duplicolor yellow kit matches the MY color? I looked today and it does not appear to match too closely anybody tried it yet?

Red appears to be the most popular, and I have seem them on yellow vette's and they to fine. I have also seen the calipers painted yellow to match the body and that to look good. I am sure you will receive a lot of pictures.
Here are mine.
I actually painted the caliper completely, then used a razor to clean the letters.

There is a guy here on the forum that can powdercoat your calipers to match any color you want, you just tell him what you want, he sends you the calipers and you send him your old ones as a core-exchange. Powercoating by mike, I think is what it is. Just do a search here on the forum and you'll find him. He did mine in Mag Red to match my car and they look really great. His prices are great too, not to mention that powdercoating is much more sturdy than just paint. Give him a yell, he's great to deal with.
