You are in the C5 section so consider posting on the C6 side. C5 are not stickers, not sure on the C6.

The C6Z ones are painted on I believe and I'd doubt that anyone makes a kit for it.

Was gonna say check ebay as i was able to get Camaro and Trans Am decals for the similar dual piston calipers, but i cant find any corvette ones. Seems strange they wouldn't offer them.

I recall some members having theirs powdercoated other colors, so there's probably a way. Do a search for C6 Z06 brakes.

The letters are bare aluminum. When members of our club have repainted their calipers, they paint the caliper, then take a sanding block and buff the paint off the letters. You could tape over the letters to minimize the paint that gets on them when you spray the calipers.

Sorry, you might be confused. The OP is asking about the C6Z06 ones but he posted in the C5Z06 forum about it.
