Sorry I don't have any pics. Used Duplicolor engine paint and clearcoat. Used a dremmel and 400 grit sandpaper to smooth them out first. Turned out pretty nice. The calipers really show up with the zo6 wheels. If you are not changing rotors you may want to paint the 'hats' on them also.

I used an epoxy caliper paint kit from Eastwood.---->
I was very happy with the quality and results.
