excuse the rusty rotor





i took my wheel off, then undid the caliper bolts, removed pads and rotors, put the calipers back on, used a rag to wipe them off and painted them with rustoleum paint. no sanding or any other prep BS. stayed on there for 6 months easy. now just to find the motivation to put on my powdercoated callipers...

Just messing with you...... I know Red is a common color and you're looking for something different.

With a white car, you have many options.... Good luck

Not exactly Nassau Blue but close. Calipers are powdercoated.

Jason Blue Boost-

Is that a stock caliper on the rear of your vette? Just curious at how only half of the rotor gets swept by the pads.

That is the most bitchin color to ever grace a car, except for teal metallic and SOM

Thanks for the compliments guys. The rear caliper is stock with a relocation bracket. I have an early set of 14" Baer Eradispeeds +2 in the rears. The newer rotors have a bigger aluminum hat area that actually covers the area of the rotor that the pad doesn't come in contact with. In a couple of weeks I'll have my 14" Wilwood 6 piston/ 4 piston big brakes on the car. These calipers you see on the car will be for sale.
