Yellow calipers
Don't like bumble bee looks... Thinking of electron blue with my black 2014 Z51. Any recommendations, who can do this? Assume it has to be powder coated and then rebuilt. Wish dealer here would do it.

Powder coating would work, or you could paint them. There are one or two forum vendors that powered coat, or you could google someone local to you. If you go the paint route, these guys make a kit and will color match anything for you:

Find a kit with the right color and paint them yourself. Just be sure to thoroughly clean the calipers before applying the paint. If the calipers are already painted, a little scuffing of the paint may be a good idea.

I just don't get this brake caliper color obsession. Why draw your eye to two insignificant parts on your beautiful car. Obviously, I'm in the minority, as Chevrolet has color caliper options.

One kit did 4 calipers (outside half) with 4 coats and paint left over. If the temp is in the recommended perimeters, you have plenty of time to do the job. No need to rush, just have all your prep work done in advance.
