Default [Non-OEM] Colored Calipers

I'm upgrading to Z06 calipers and don't think I can stand for the boring factory red. I may do a candy red, but wanted to see what others have done. This is what I'm looking at:





Other options

I think blue with a metallic flake would look awesome. It would also be very unique.

I did mine in blue on my GS, I think a little darker blue would really look good on yours.

I did mine is Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic with G2's epoxy system. This is a shot in bright afternoon sun, it looks more orange when not photographed with a phone's camera.
