Looking for Pics of those who have painted there GS / Z06 Brake Calipers
Thinking of painting my GS calipers and looking for pics of those that have. And yes I know about powder coating them, with Mike, but $40 is a lot cheaper than doing powder coat and if I don't like it then I will get them powder coated later since to get them powder coat them they have to be sandblasted anyway so rather spend $40 now to see how I like it first.
I did paint my 05 C6's Calipers and they turned out pretty good and only had 1 small chip after a year with G2 caliper paint.
Thanks!

This is G2 epoxy paint, new decals, and three coats of VHT clear. My only advice is to take all four wheels off the car first, and have all four calipers cleaned and ready to paint. Once you mix the catalyst into the paint, you don't want to waste time jacking the car and unmounting wheels.

I painted mine and have painted all of my cars calipers with VHT and then made my own caliper decals (I have them) then clear-coated over them, and they still look good as new!

Mine on my 2010 GS were painted over 10,000 miles ago with plain old Krylon paint from Home Depot and decals from a vendor on eBay. The secret is to be sure the calipers are CLEAN and DRY before painting.
No idea why the photo keeps coming out upside down. Any advice on that???

Wanting to clean and Paint 2012 GS Brake Rotor Hubs
Lee,
Just saw your picture of your hubs. Wondering what you used to clean your hubs. I have a little rust, so need to clean and paint. On your paint color, did you use a flat or satin black? Someone said to use sliver or gray, but not sure. My car color is Supersonic Blue with chrome spoke wheels...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Rick Humerickhouse
