Default Yellow or Blue Calipers?

I see all sorts of red calipers on all sorts of cars, but after seeing a Ferrari with yellow and the ZR1 with blue it got me thinking......Has anyone painted their's YELLOW, BLUE or ANY COLOR other then RED??

I think it depends on the color combination of your car and wheels.

Section 31 Paragraph 4 Subparagraph 6a of the Corvette Law Book states; "All calipers when painted must be red"!

Did mine in blue, unfortunately can't access pics while here at work.

Ok here's a couple pics of mine.

Did them in black first but just didn't like them that way.


Then after painting them blue.

There are plenty of other cars that have calipers painted something other than red. I've seen here on the forum calipers painted mag red, blue, black, yellow, purple and dark green.

Greetings fellow BC resident! I don't think blue will go well with your Vette color...
I suggest you photoshop the Vette with different caliper colors...see which one looks best.
Personally, I'm gonna go with red, as soon as the weather improves (since it will go well with the red seats, lights...on my Vette).
