I ask because I want to paint mine to match the heritage stripes on the front fenders and want the "Corvette" part to be white.

The base or Z51 brakes are easier because the letters are raised, so you can just dab a bit of chapstick on them and the paint won't stick. On our GS, you can order vinyl letters that stick on really well. And you could clear coat over them for extra protection if you wanted. That's what I did on mine. Now if I could only remember the website where I got them... I'm sure someone here will know because I found their name on a thread on this Forum.

The Black Letter paint is Gloss Black Rustoleum.
The GS and Z06 has a decal applied on the caliper, so you would need to replace the existing ones. They are available on the e-site in Silver, Red, Blue, Black or White.
