Do people paint over the corvette lettering on the calipers and if not how do you remove the paint from lettering?

Do people take the calipers off and remove them from the car? or paint in place?

Probably been discussed before but I couldn't find it....

Thanks.

I have plenty of pics and how-to posted on my web page -
nothing to sell there, just my place to put stuff.

click here , then click "Calipers" - there's a link there to a vendor site where you can get the brake paint kit. I was able to find the kit at Autozone, so that's where I bought it.

I did mine about a week ago. Bought duplicolor red from O'Rileys. They turned out good. I used a dremell tool to clean the paint off the letters. Took the callipers off the rotors and the brake pads off. No problem.
