I'm doing a C5 brake upgrade right now on an 87 C4 and I'm using the non-Z06 graphite colored calipers and I'm wondering if anybody makes that color caliper paint so I can do my rear calipers to match?
I would imagine that you could find some VHT paint. If the color doesn't match close enough paint all 4.
Yeah I looked at the VHT and Duplicolor Caliper paint choices but they only have Black or Silver, no Grey-Graphite or a shade close to the OE C5's. I figured that I will either have to strip the fronts and paint them another color or take the rears to my powder coater and match them to the fronts in powder which offers many more choices. I was just trying to do it the easy way but that's ok. Thanks

The calipers on the C5 (except for the Z06) were not painted - the color is bare metal, which oxidized over time. Your best bet is to have the calipers powder coated......if your choice is a Graphite color, then have them powder coated that way.
