sunset orange brake calipers Well I normally wouldn't post a thread on such a small thing but there isn't really any good pictures from the ones that did it so I thought I would share my own. I never showed my z28 on here and have been waiting to get some more mods done to my ss to be worthy of posting up details. Anyway here they are. Painted the calipers Som and painted he brackets gunmetal to go with the wheel spokes.

I feel you. I felt the same way, that's why I went with Dubli-Color for 20 bucks. I asked cause I thought G2 only made the custom SOM color. Looks good.

No it is regular automotive paint. I was hesitant to do it but after some research it seemed that hi temp primer before and high temp clear was the way to go.

I painted and cleared my calipers almost 7 years/50k miles ago and it holds up to the heat. The primer, base, and clear are not heat treated. If you decide to go this route, also get touchup paint because if you tap the calipers with a tool, the paint will chip.
