Hey guys I have a NBM Z28 and right now I have silver grand sport hash marks and silver Z emblems. I recently vistied a guy in my home town that rebuilds wrecked corvettes and he has a set of Z06 brake calipers for sale pretty cheap. Do you think that the red calipers will look good on a navy blue car. I think they look good on the blue Z06's IMO. I was just wanting a second opinon on how they would look on my car..
Thanks

I personally think red goes with any color! With red calipers, you can't go wrong imho.

I think they'd look great, plus the small added benifit of a stronger caliper over stock. Plus I'm partial - I did a C5 brake upgrade on my SS already

If you don't want them, hook me up!

I dont think they would look good. Maybe just paint over them NBM.

How could red not go with blue...That is fantastic and the pic says it all.

I agree with SSG--Z28, red goes with anything, car-wise. It's like, the "performance" color. I say go for it.

What color red, or shade of red would you use for a NBM car? I plan to paint mine red once i get my new rotors and pads, and am wondering what exact paint color to get as well as what the color code might be? What is the red that the Z06 calipers have on them already?

Man I don' know what the the paint code is for them but I would just find some kinda bright red and paint them.

That looks amazing- What tone of red is that? where did uyou get the paint or is that the Z06 Caliper?

i think red calipers are played out ..all you old bastards will do anything for free..haha,but hey i can't say i didnt think about it once or twice. z06 calipers are an upgrade anyway so why not. at least there factory painted.

Thanks for the compliment. Plasti-Kote Bright Red Caliper Paint from Autozone. Used the dremel to grind the casting marks, primed, painted, added decals and cleared them. Its been almost a year and they still look great.

I say go for it Matt. they'll look great on your car. I wanna know where your contact is too for the wrecked vette parts.

Just picked me up some Red caliper paint and clear whats the best prep work/steps to take? Should i sand? etc.

cthomas

the most important thing to do is get everything as clean as possible. Even if you sand, grind, whatever, make sure you clean everything really good with Prepsol or some kind of prepaint cleaner before you shoot them with paint. Make sure there is'nt any brake dust and grime on them at all or the paint won't last very long.

paint just the outside or inside as well-probably a dumb question
