Decided to powdercoat my calipers and brackets on my 02 Firehawk, red with yellow decals and chrome torq thrusts. Originally I was going to do red calipers and either black or silver brackets, but seems like too much red. Then I was thinking black calipers with silver brackets, or the other way around. Then I thought about black calipers with yellow brackets and the yellow firehawk emblem on the calipers. Worried the yellow might be too much but then again i think it might look good at the same time. Any ideas as I can't decide.

I'm gonna say red calipers and brackets. Yellow letting/bird. Might be a lot of red, but it beats the other options you mentioned.

Red Calipers with Black brackets and black lettering works on ANY color car, silver only works well if thats your cars body color.

When I painted mine, my first thought was just like yours, powder coat them. I talked to the guy that handles mine and all my buddies powder coating. He said that he didnt think the finish would last on a caliper because of the heeat generated from the brakes heat cycles. So, I am not saying it wont work, I would check more into it. I did see a guy on here that sanded his calipers down smooth, and polished them. He has TT II's, and it look awesome (link: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...-brackets.html)

Here are pics of mine, incase you need an idea. I printed out the caliper decals, and cut them out, and painted them. I used card stock. If you do this, make sure that the trans am logo is atleast 4 inches long. I had to play with it a bit to get it right.

Red definitely looks sharp. Yellow could be too much.

to the painting issue, certain paints hold up just fine. I had really bad luck with metallic based high heat acceptable paints. They just faded badly.

Powder coating works out well on calipers. Mine were done about 8 years ago and still look great.

silver only works well if thats your cars body color....There are thousands of CTS-V's out there that say otherwise.
