Going to pull my silver calipers off the GS tonight and send them to Mike.
My plan is to have them coated similar to the ZO6.
Can you all post some close up pictures of your ZO6 calipers so I have a reference to provide Mike with what I want?

Appreciate the help - Chris

Pictures probably won't be needed as he's probably done one or two of them.

I had mine coated torch red from Mike, pops better than Victory red

Speed raider did you get the pins out prior to powder or did you just have him mask them off? Great looking car.

Thank you Cypher!

I just had brand new Z06 brakes powder coated Crystal Red by Mike.

He knows what he is doing!

Mike will know what the Z06 color is without a picture - this isn't his first rodeo!

You guys have me considering crm, really looks good on your silver cars.

This is exactly the finish I am looking for on mine. You have the guide pin torx heads masked off perfectly. It will make my life easy if I don't have to take them out and he can simply mask.

I have high temp BBQ paint already and will be painting my rotor hats too.

Just FYI, mine were brand new and shipped directly to Mike. I do not know how he did them. I just know that he does them really nice.

Contact Mike directly if you have any questions about what needs to be done by you before shipping yours to him.

Yep already communicating with him. You guys were a big help and he has been patient. Can't wait to get them coated and back on the car.
Actually excited I found someone that can be trusted to coat them.

I will be doing this soon, how long is the turn around time? Cost?

Thank you,

Chris

yes, make sure they are out before powdercoating

Z06 OEM calipers are Torch red. Mike knows what to use as I went through it with him a couple years ago with my swap. I thought they were victory red but he said Torch. he was correct.
excuse the dirty pics. They were just bedded in prior to pic.

As long as you communicate with Mike sounds like he tries his best to turn calipers around in few days or less. He travels a lot so set up timing prior to shipping as well as cost for work to be done.

Got a headache reading the preferred jacking locations.
I have the car sitting on jackstands on the frame rail tie down points and now I am reading this isn't okay????
I don't have anything to lay across the webbed cross members.

Any input? Not putting the car on wood, don't ask, I have learned the hard way on other vehicles. Does anyone have something that can be used with a floor jack and jack stands on the center cross members? I have seen multiple posts about the Northern Tool option that is apparently no longer an option.
