Default 2002 Coupe Caliper Paint
My Coupe is white.

I'm wondering if anybody has tried having the calipers on a white Vette powder coated white,with black letters?

Send pics if u have.

Thanks!

There probably has been someone who has painted their calipers white, but in all honesty, I would think they would be a PITA to keep looking clean. But, your car and if you could put up with that, go for it.

White would be very difficult to keep clean.
If you went that way I would suggest powder coating them!
Super durable and easier to keep clean

Interesting idea. I agree with others that it would take some extra work to keep them looking clean, but it might be a cool look. You should try PhotoShopping it to see. Me...I went with red and "natural" letters; not unqique by any means, but I like 'em!

Probably would look good but they will likely always have brake dust on them :P

If you go that route, be sure to share photos.

I'd think that white calipers would be a B-tch to keep clean.
