Caliper lettering question...
Do both front and rear brake calipers have CORVETTE lettering on them or only the fronts?

Were you asking to determine painting these letters? If so, be SURE to use a high temp (I.e., 1200 degree) paint, otherwise the heat from the calipers/breaks will destroy the paint.

Only the fronts. Too bad they don't have the lettering on the rear also.

I will want them painted when I purchase my first Vette (this Tuesday, Woo Hoo!!!
I'm still pinching myself) and have read an article somewhere talking about using the high temp paint. Thanks for the reminder though

Here's what can be done if your a "do it yourselfer" and you have some patience. I used the VHT Racing Red paint ( bought at Autozone) and brushed it on. Then I scraped the letters with a razor blade and went over them with fine sandpaper.
I was at a Vette gathering a couple weeks ago and a few guys didn't believe I painted them myself!

Those look good. I'm going to paint mine tomorrow. I was going to tape everything off and spray the VHT but after seeing how good yours look, I'm going to brush them. Just polished the CORVETTE lettering with the dremel today. They look great. Fresh painted calipers will look great up against my brand new sportbrake rotors.
