I did my 07 in Lemans blue, so i went with Red, But with C6 and C7 and i suppose C8 that ( the Caliper ) is just about the first thing you can add color to the cars profile. When I bought my 03 last year is had a little bit or trouble deciding what would look good on 50th anniversary car, so . . . But it didn't seem very distinctive, and I used a black welding marker pen to add a little texture to the calipers.

With the brush on method, what technique are you using for the lettering? Are you brushing the second color on the lettering too?
