ideas for caliper painting/decals color scheme i have a NBM SS, with chrome Z06's. i am thinking about polishing my bracket and painting the caliper either black or NBM, and have brushed chrome "camaro" letters with the standard SS emblems (like on the car, black w/ silver trim) under those on the fronts. anyone done anything like this? pics would be awesome. i have seen some nice calipers on here, but none w/ that scheme that i can find. thanks

I started to polish my caliper and bracket, but it started to become a pain in the butt..
So I just painted them black and went with brushed aluminum Camaro Z28 decals..

yeah i know the polishing will be a PITA, but as long as i can clear them and keep them looking that way i am willing to put the time into it. i have a dremel tool to cit the time down i will use it for the tight spaces. i am just wondering if the black and silver SS emblems will show up very well on the NBM or black caliper?

those look great man. i might end up going with painting the bracket silver if the polishing doesnt seem to look so well. but we'll see. does anyone have any pics of polished bracket with a darker painted caliper with camaro or SS emblems on it? i am just interested in seeing how well the SS emblems will show up. i am starting to order the decals already, i have brushed chrome camaro letters, waiting to order the SS emblems. anyone know where to get those?
