Default FS Custom Color C5 Calipers

I played with the powdercoat colors at work today and did a set of 4 very good used C5 calipers in "translucent red". They turned out beautiful but won't match the wifes torch red car. I think they would look cool on cars that are white, black, gray, pewter, and might quite possibly be a close match for Red Metallic or 50th Anniversary Red. I was hoping for some interest from someone local before I list them on the C5 section. I DO NOT HAVE BRACKETS for them. Click HERE for a bunch of pictures. Every picture makes them look slightly darker and more brown than they actually are - I think theres a camera issue. They are more red in person. Note the color difference in various lighting. The pictures don't do them justice. The are so shiny that they look wet. I am looking for $275.00 for them.

no, no powdercoat there. Its one of my other jobs - I need the extra cash for the Corvette addiction ya know - it keeps me in race rubber and brake pads. We have a small spray booth and oven for powdercoating and we fire it up at least once a week for various parts. Most commonly we do black wrinkle but we have lots of other colors on the shelf. When I get time I get to play. Did Carols sway bar in bright red and its a perfect match to torch red.

Randy, they really look , nice job. Sorry I can't use them, but I'm sure somebody will.

Is there anything you can't do?
