Default Caliper powdercoating and system bleed

To any Vette owner in Central NJ who can bleed the brakes and is good at it. I need help with this and am willing to pay a good amount for the experienced help with my '07 C6 Z51. I am a Chef of 4-star Italian cuisine and my knowledge of this procedure is squat. I want to send the calipers to The Powdercoater.com.....website is impressive.

Hi Jeff,

I live in the Brunswick area and would be more than happy to give you a hand for a couple of beers... I have an '06 C6 Z-51 and do all my own work in my car (headers, intake, brake jobs, oil changes, etc) as a hobby.
Just send me a PM

I have powdercoated calipers to... Nice choice... What color did you go with? Mine are red:



I'm assuming you have tools?

I did mine myself, it is not that hard, I used Speed Bleeders which I think made it somewhat easier. I had Mike do mine in Monterey Red to match my car. Looks awesome with the Chrome wheels!
