I thought the only factory painted calipers were the red ones on the ZO6. Unless of course you have painted them yourself in the past.
When I did mine I was painting bare steel. The local paint shop (English Color) mixed me up a pint in the color of my car. They suggested an Epoxy paint which, before talking with them, I didn't even know existed. It's a three part mix, paint, reducer and hardener that I sprayed it on using an airbrush. It will gloss over very well when it drys, it's hard as nails and it sticks to anything, even glass, so be careful of overspray.
