Default ? On calipers

I'm looking at powdercoating a set and swap them out with my stockers when I change rotors/pads/lines. I found a set of '04 GTO calipers for a good deal, will they fit with no changes? Also what's the best DIY kit for painting/powdercoating?

I'm pretty sure the gto calipers are the same as the C6 vette base calipers. So yes, they will work in many different configurations.

Here's what I mean:

GTO calipers with f body brackets, stock rotors. Bolt on.
GTO calipers with C5 brackets (not sure if the GTO bracket is the same), 13" rotor - needs a UMI or Trackbracket to work.
GTO calipers with Z51 brackets, 13.5" rotor again needs UMI or trackbrackets.

The '04 GTO calipers are completely different, the 05-06 GTO used the LS1/C5/C6(non-Z06 calipers) style calipers.
