Default Caliper paint

Looking to paint the black rotors on the 2017 Grand Sport. Any preference between G2 or POR-15. Not interested in powder coating or spray painting. Also, do GM stock red C7 calipers have black, white or silver "Corvette" decals on them? Thanks.

My Stingray has red calipers with black lettering.

I used the G2 on my C5, and wasn't happy with the final results, so I then added some rattle can spray paint to it. I was happier with how it looked/covered after that.

My C7 Grand Sport has the OEM red calipers, and came with black lettering

I used G2. Check out this ancient thread. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...d-finally.html

I assume you mean the rotor hats. I would like to do this as well. I think it would look better with the black wheels. The red calipers have black lettering on the C7.

I have painted calipers on a variety of cars ('03 Vette, '00 Vette, '15 Impala, and '08 Equinox Sport) and each time I used a product called Folia Tec. Can be bought on the auction site and is a very good product.
