Decided to go with Yellow Calipers powder coated by Mike the Powder Coater!
While I had the calipers off painted the hats on the rotors
Finished Look! Also acquired a transparent top from a forum member as well!
Friday I should be receiving my new Grand Sport Fender Badge from American Hydrocarbon - Satin Black Badge with "G" & "S" in Velocity Yellow and "rand" & "port" in Arctic White!

Very nice. I have the same comp grey rims on my 12 GS. I would prefer black and now you have me motivated to try. Did you need to buy new center caps? Also another poster asked about a glossifier. Can you explain? Thanks!

After you plasti dip the wheels you can use the glossifier (Spray Can also) to give a gloss effect but what i've been reading is that it only puts on a satin finish not a glossy look like the OPS wheels.

No on center caps, leave them in when you plasti-dip your wheels, after you are done pop them out and lightly scribe the corvette logo on the center cap with a razor and you can peel off the plasti film off the logo. Very easy. Glossifer gives it a little shine, not a lot but just enough depending on how many coats you apply.

I think it depends on how many coats you apply, more coats the shinier it gets, less coats more matte look you get.
