This weekend I'm going to put my car on jacks and spray the rotor hats flat black. Can't deal with looking at the rust everytime I see it. Then next weekend I will put it up again and paint the calipers.

I believe Mike has cores. Just tell him what you want, he does them and sends them to you. You swap them and send him back youres. Can all be done at the same time when time to install.

When I had my SS, I actually had people stop me at a light and ask about my red calipers and black wheels, so they definitely are eye-catching.

Here was my SS-

Exactly!! If you're going to paint them you might as well make them standout, otherwise leave them stock.

Sorry, I was still sleeping

Yellow does look good, I think red will be lighter than it is in the pic tho and you'll like it better still

Thats what I was saying. My still have the red SS on the back but the front SS is going bye bye with the heritage grill. Im still in a dilema if I should leave the heritage grill badgeless or with my black chevy logo and thats it.
