New Caliper paint
Just 'cuz I didn't have anything better to do today, I decided to finally get the 'Vette up in the air, remove the tires and paint the calipers.
It's an '04 CE vert in Lemans Blue. Decided to try the Duplicolor Caliper Paint Kit in yellow......
Whaddya think?

Thanks for the nice comments, y'all! 
I thought the yellow would add a bit of pizzaz....and figured I could always change if I didn't like it. I think it looks great.
It's the brush on version.....The idea of a bit of thinner is interesting...I thought the paint was thin to start with. Would have thought it'd be thicker.
What you see are 4 coats.

That is nice, and if you could do like "Louie Detroit" above said about the Lemans Blue letters, that would be sweet.

Nice contrast with the blue.
