Torch Red Caliper Paint
Hi -the caliper paint will be a Christmas project. In reading this thread:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...s-step-in.html
some of it goes back quite a way and there are some references to some paint options that are no longer made and/or have changed tone slightly.
anyone do this recently and which paint did you use?
Thanks.

I recently painted the calipers on my DD and used a bright red from Folia Tec. It is epoxy based and goes on with a brush - when it dries it leaves no brush marks. I used the same paint on my C5 six years ago and it still looks like new. You can find the paint on the big auction site - PM me if you want more info.

I painted my calipers with VHT Real Red as part of my Grand Sport project...
