I would love to be posting my pics but zr1 caliper paint is not the easiest **** to find. Still waiting for it to show up. Might just wait till the new rear end and motor goes in it in a few weeks

I'm right between yellow and something else ... not sure whether it'll be red or blue, so I can hardly wait to see your ZR1-colored calipers. Having a problem picturing all these colors on my stealth gray.

Looks good. You gonna use a clear coat or not? From what I'm seeing (other forums, youtube, etc), some guys do and some don't.

Ya gunna clear them on Sunday or Monday. Gunna let the paint settle and cure and go back and touch up anything then clear them

I curious to see how good this is. Are you going to spray the calipers and then clearcoat them? Very interested to see how it turns out!

I wonder how thats gonna hold up, it says not to paint the whole caliper or it will peel...keep us posted if all goes well i might order some also.

You're gunna need two cans btw

rand49er

That's the plan. Have to wait a couple more months as it's way too cold to even think about doing it now.


Yup. Got two cans.

Yeah, I'm risking the possibility of peeling. Hey, 04Vguy, do you think they're referring to problems developing if the calipers heat up too much or what?

Ya I'm not sure. The only hesitation I had before I sprayed mine was them getting hit. But I don't think gm would make touch up paint for calipers that wouldn't hold up so I sprayed mine Thursday and then went out last night and did some pretty hardcore break after some Mexico runs and they are still good. So I'm just human clear them and see how it goes

rand49er

That's roughly my thinking. I'm hoping GM's thinking of tracking conditions, and those are coming long and far between for me since V-Day I back in '08, so I should be good ... I hope.
