Re: Caliper paint? (Wide Open Throttle)
I bought GM Orange-Red Engine Enamel, sprayed it into the cap, and brushed it on. Looks great, and since it was made for the heat of an engine, it should, hopefully, hold up. Bought it at Auto Zone, use a fine sandpaper to take any paint off the corvette lettering.

I want to paint my calipers red like on the Z06. What type of paint should I use for this and who sells it? I want to get the right stuff. I don't want it to fade or flake off.

I used the VHT brake caliper paint from Mid America, comes in different colors, I used the red to match car. I masked area off with newpaper and masking tape, applied about 5 coats with 30 minutes in between. Very glossy! :yesnod:

I used Foliatec. It looks like they don't put enough in the kit to completely cover your brakes. Funny thing is, I only needed half of what came in the kit and I put two heavy coats on. :cheers:
