Blue Brake Calipers????
We have a silver C5 Coupe with polished wheels. I am thinking of painting the brake calipers in blue similar to the calipers on the ZR1 . Is there a nice metallic blue caliper paint available, or a paint that will hold up to the temps somebody can recommend? Anyone have pics of their Vette with blue calipers?

If I didn't have all of the red accents under the hood I would paint mine blue on my MSG coupe.

Blue looks pretty good. I bet it really looks good on a silver car.
