Default C7 Brake calipers painted

Hi,


I am a new member here. I just purchased a 2015 C7 but did so while it was being built so I could not make any changes to the car. I would like to paint the brake calipers an unusual color. Does anyone know of a company or business in the San Francisco Bay area that paints brake calipers colors more than just: blue, white, black, silver, red or yellow? Thanks much.


Greg

Any good powder coater can power coat your calipers what ever color you want.

Painted the calipers on my C 5 & C 6 by hand using "Rustolium" (?) and after 100,000 + miles on each car never had any problems with chips, peeling or discoloration... Of course I do not run autocross or do track days where temperatures can get high.

I've used Folia Tec caliper paint on two C5s, an Equinox Sport and now my '15 Impala. Easy to do and costs only about $40 total to do the job yourself.
