Front Brake Upgrade

originally i could not decide what color to go with on the calipers, i was able to narrow it down to silver and red. i really liked the CTS-V silver, but it would mean i'd have to buy the rear calipers too and the silver front calipers cost more than the yellow ones, overall too much of an investment for the factory silver CTS-V brakes. i decided to go with red because it would maintain the stock look of the car.
i used VHT red caliper spray paint and VHT hi-temp clear for the calipers. started with 220 grit sand paper to rough them up, cleaned with alcohol, let dry and applied 5 coats of red, 5min apart, let them dry and put "nearly" factory (silver CHEVROLETand black brembo) stickers on. then added 3 coats of the clear, again 5min between coats. threw them in the oven to bake and voila..........1LE 6 piston calipers.
