Default Laguna Blue Calipers...

Has anyone painted or powdercoated their calipers to match Laguna Blue? Does anyone know of a caliper paint on the market that would be a close match?

Pics please.

He did my C6 calipers and matched LeMans Blue perfectly. Can't imagine why he couldn't match yours. BTW, the paint held up perfectly on them.

Ok, has anyone painted the calipers themselves with caliper paint?

I did my C6 in red paint. I would not recommend painting the big C7 calipers. Powder Coating is cheap enough and looks way better. I may powder coat mine in Laguna Blue as well!

Nice ride. I have the Laguna blue Z51 3LT also, but not that edition. I saw a lime rock green when I bought my blue one and I think it said Pacific Edition or something. Wonder if they are similar.

I don't remember exactly as it was back in 2006. I also took mine off and had him paint them instead of doing a core exchange.

I will say when I sold the C6 they were the shiniest thing on the car, they still looked like the first day I got them back.

Why GM didn't offer all calipers available in the same body color as the car-I don't know......
