Who sells Red Calipers for LS1's?
I'll keep this brief.
Looking for a company that sells nice powdercoated/painted red calipers for an
02' WS6.
I tried googling and searching and couldnt find much for what I'm looking for. All i found was companies selling decals for the Calipers.
Reason why I'm not painting mine, is that it's my daily driver...so to take them off and mail them somewhere to be powedercoated and having down time is very inconvenient for me and not practical.
I've always liked how Red Calipers looked on our cars.

Look up SilverGhost [the powderpro] on here. He had a thread recently about the new filled/shaved/coated calipers for a great price. If I remember correctly, he does the calipers on an exchange basis so there is no downtime.

I dont' know the process of powder coating but maybe a machine shop or a auto body place thats local to you could do it? Take them off, take them there, and get them back the next day? Just an idea.

you will have to have them rebuilt to powder coat them basicly they get taken apart then powdercoated and then baked in the oven (this is why they have to be rebuild cause the heat will damage the seals) then you re assemble with all new hardware. but then again i guess you could remove the pistons before baking and not need to rebuild
rebuild kits are cheep for our calipers.
however I am just sending mine to silver ghost to have them done

I painted mine 5 years ago with an autozone duplicolor paint. Still lasting and looking pretty good today. I would do that if you're just looking for the red look. If you're looking for performance, I would look into the cadillac cts-v upgrade and have those calipers powdercoated while they are off the car, or give Brembo a call.
