C7 calipers
I'm pondering changing the color of my 2015 Sringray calipers from gray to yellow. Can anyone suggest where to find new original yellow calipers at a reasonable price?

Sadly there's no such thing as a reasonable price for new calipers. If you have a good local body shop, they could do the job for you at a good price. Then the decals would be all you need. if that's not for you I suggest you try one of our forum vendors, CULTRAG, GM Parts Direst, etc. They all have great customer service.

If you are willing to take them out then send them for powdercoating - there used to be a vendor here (I think Mike or something??) maybe somebody can chime in.

The owner of a Muscle car garage near me told to me to either buy new calipers or paint my existing ones. He shared his experience that powder coating "may" change the specs and cause problems.

I've decided to have my calipers painted yellow professionally instead. Does anyone know who has a good caliper paint and what the name of that paint would be other than just yellow?

On all three of my C5s I had, I used a caliper paint called Folia Tec - it is a two part epoxy paint that dries extremely hard and looks great. Brushes on and dries with no brush marks. Can be bought on the big auction site for around $35 a kit and one kit will do all calipers, at least it did on the C5. Of course the C5 had smaller calipers than on the C7.
