What color to paint my calipers??? Ive got a black Z28 with polished Y2k C5 rims. pics can be seen here http://community.webshots.com/user/speedfreak81. I am getting slotted/cross drilled rotors from the wholesale direct GP soon. I want to paint or probably get my calipers powdercoated but Im not sure what would look best. I was thinking black to go with the car but id kinda like something with a little flash. Maybe red, but i dont know how that would look. I dont want to polish them because the car is a daily driver and ill never be able to keep them clean. What do you think?

Look no further, https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/182718-finally-got-my-calipers-powercoat.html. Powercoat is the way to go, I just got mine back and was amazed, the pictures don't do the justice.

i did myne ford blue and i have a black ss with chrome zr-1's i got caliper decals and i think they look bad ***, something different too ill get some pics as soon as i get my camera back... the calipers themselves are blue and the little metal bracket going around the outside of it i painted a medium gloss black and i think it looks real nice, with the chrome camaro ss decals its really sharp, and i have only seen it on one other car which is where i got the idea
