C7 Collectors Edition Powder Coated Calipers



I was recently contacted by owner Ken Pauley regarding offering a "caliper exchange" program for the C7 CE to either match the stripes or interior. In order for me to purchase a set of cores I will need to make sure there is enough demand to have calipers done since the cores are VERY expensive. If you are interested in having your's done please let me know. The cost is $599 a set with a $1200 core charge.

Thanks Mike! I've added a picture of a Philip Eames' car, he had his done in Playboy Blue with the black Corvette letters.

There were two people committed so far, in this order.

I'll circulate this link.

1. Mark Rouleau - Playboy Blue / Black Corvette Letters
2. Mike Baker - Playboy Blue / Black Corvette Letters

The calipers on a gray car look incredible even w/o the matching hash and interior. Complements WGG very well.

Can you do the Stingray calipers or only the GS/Z06 ?

Mike, can you confirm that the price includes putting the Corvette word back on the caliper (decal) and it would be good to confirm with the folks doing it the color that they want to use. Most have seen pictures of the Playboy Blue ones and I'm thinking will want that color based on the photos and I want to be sure that is a color you can offer. Might be good to suggest to the people involved that they request color samples from the vendor, especially the ones that are not first in line as they will have time to receive them. The two colors are (and where you can request samples):

Playboy Blue: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/col.../PLAYBOY-BLUE/
Iced Candy Blue: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/col...ed-Candy-Blue/

I still think these should have come from the factory this way. It's good to see one of our Vendors picking up GM's slack!

The picture is playboy blue. I have the color chips and compared them. Playboy blue matches tension blue perfectly.

First order completed. As soon as I get them and send back mine, I will update the thread.

I'm interested in this, but curious on the brake bleeding procedure once they're swapped out. I know on my C5 and C6 when I did them I had to use a Tech 2 to do the brake bleeding procedure to activate the ABS system.

Will a trip to the dealer be necessary after this swap out?

I'm interested as well, although it wouldn't be until late fall

TPSMak

Yes the Corvette logo will be put back onto the calipers... here is what we did for a set in yellow.

TPSMak

Thanks you are 1st on the list...

Thanks for the order

You should not need a Tech 2 to bleed the system... bleeding a big brake kit can be tricky and many of our c7/ C6 Z06 customers actually pay a shop to install and bleed the system to make things easier

Fall is usually the busiest time for caliper swap as every one wants to do them while their cars are put away...

Since you're offering this for the CE, can you do any color on any Carbon brakes car? I'm looking for a match to Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic.

^black or silver look great on DSO

TPSMak

yes we am do any color you want . Did you want to place an order?

jrc27

So does that mean i won't be able to do it?

TPSMak

Not at all.... you might just have a long wait as fall is always very busy

jrc27

Oh, ok. Fortunately for me, winter lasts 8 months So how does the process work... Do you pay $1800 up front and then get $1200 back when you receive my calipers?

I did mine in my garage with someone pumping and hold the pedal. Start in this order: RR,LR, RF, and LF. Once to make your first pass repeat the procedure and you should be good. Mine worked as if I never took them off.

Also, While I had my calipers off for 3 weeks I used Banjo Plugs to stop the brake fluid from leaking (about 5 bucks from AutoZone).

If anyone plans to do this on there own, I be more than glad to walk you though the process.
