Wanting to paint mt grandsport calipers red, but looking at it how can I keep the CORVETTE letters on there? Any advice? Thanks

Put chapstick on the letters, then after painting scrape the paint off the letters with a razor blade. Will come right off.

That doesn't work on the GS/Z06 calipers because the letters aren't raised, they're decals.

No answer for your question, it has come up often and I haven't seen any solutions posted yet. There was a suggestion made last year to contact thepowdercoater since he obviously has to restore the lettering after he powder coats. Someone posted earlier this year that they did contact him and he said his license with GM doesn't allow him to sell the decals separately.

Good luck. If you find something a lot of people will be happy to hear about it.

duh... you're right...
Check with Gene at GMpartshouse to see if you can just order the decals.

It's a little disappointing that GM decided to make some great big high performance calipers and then stick decals on them....the letters should be cast in like the regular calipers.

Anything else with this?

I need yellow lettering for my rear calipers.

Here is the photoshop working of original z06 caliper decal at the attachment.I personally scanned all calipers and made some adjustments.you need a plotter to cut these decals on a sticker.then you can use these stickers to paint the calipers. here is my own painting

Thanks, that'll definately help. Wish it had the "circles" too.

I'm interested in a decal if anyone know how to get them.

I wonder if you carefully coat the letters with Vaseline, then spray paint the calipers. The paint on the letters should wipe off. Maybe!

CorVetteJones

There's no way you can trace the letters and have it come out right. ?They are very thin and flush to the surface of the caliber. You need a replacement decal. Someone must sell them.

Rob circles has also in it.I didn't paint circles because I don't like them but if you want you can also paint with circles...

Thule

jones you can find the decals at attachment of my post.you need plotter for the cut on sticker.Then you can use these stickers to paint decals with circles on calipers..
