Hey butchn, or anyone who's done this.. How long does it take to do it? I would like to do this project and want to know how long my vette will be down..

:lurk:

Took me about 20 hours or so.

this is the second thread ive seen with someone painting the wheel barrels. looks amazing is def on my to do list. probably not gonna do the calipers though...just one more thing to keep clean

Actually, with the paint, they do not have dirt & dust adhere to them like you'd think.
They stay pretty clean.

Will this POR red match a GM red? I am being given a couple of new C6 front calipers (not Z) that are already red - must have been some sort of option - - and will want to paint new C6 rear ones (from GM Parts house) to match.

How did you paint the caliper red and the letters black? Is there an easy trick to doing it because I absolutely need to do that being that my wheels and car are black. Oh yeah by the way great job OP!

Did my calipers, brackets, barrels and rotor centers too...

This is probably one of the best enhancements I've done.

Nice...................

Would this be a good fix for rotors/hats that have visible signs of acid corrosion from wheel cleaners? Just curious.

:thumbs: Great work!!

Looks good, very good. Nice winter project. :thumbs::thumbs: :yesnod::yesnod:

Thanks to all for the detailed information and photos!

Great job!

Had my barrels and calipers painted, but the job was pretty poor. Will be re-doing them this spring.

:thumbs:

Nice work!

Slight thread revival mainly to find out how this has held up over time.

Also curious how the paint on the barrels has done where the wheel weights are mounted. I am concerned with getting the wheels re-balanced and the paint coming off in the future when the weights need to come off of the painted barrel.
