Caliper colors ?!?!?
Hello Forum Members,
I am considering either powder coating or replacing my calipers with a colored caliper. I really like red but I feel its not very original, second and third choices are jet stream blue or magnesium. I would appreciate any opinions or suggestions and if possible submit a pic if you have one.
Thanks,
Mr. West
Ps: i have a black on black z51 if this helps any.

I had the same dilemma, was inching toward just going with gloss black for a classic look. Took my car to Mike the Powder Coater (“Corvette Pilot” here on the forum) and he suggested going with Crystal Red Metallic. Took his advice and was glad I did. No regrets! He did a fantastic job.

I painted mine with the $17 Duplicolor kit. Powdercoating would have been better obviously but I am very pleased with the results and glad I used Red with my black vert. I used 4 coats of the Duplicolor high-temp paint.
