Painting calipers, gen 6
I have a 2021 1SS riverside blue with 1LE wheels and the calipers are pretty much the same color as the wheels. Kicking around the idea of painting the calipers and wondering who's done it and if they have some pics? I've done google searches as well. Looking for some feedback on who's done it etc.
I also found some ebay brembo decals but they aren't an exact fit / size to OEM thanks guys |

I painted mine white to match the car. Rather than using Brembo stickers, I found CAMARO ones on ebay. They come in different sizes. |

I've attached a link to the thread where I have pictures and some details about my painted calipers. I used G2 paint and brembo stickers from Amazon. The G2 paint has been on there for 5 years now and still looks great. I also highlighted a few other cosmetic changes in that thread that might be of interest.

thanks for all the feedback guys.
I'm leaning towards painting them a metallic orange with some brembo decals then spraying clear over the decals so it'll last. I'm going with dark blue or the orange more than likely. what host site are you guys using to post pics? I used photobucket ages ago but they want money from me... |

It’s called spicy orange and it’s a good contrast with the river side blue.
