ZL1 Calipers color

Anyone change the calipers color? If yes can you post a photo?

My ZL1 is white, so I was think in red but do not want to paint them, there is the option of wrap them (not with reflective) but do not be sure of the time that they will last...

There is a thread on this topic. There is a guy in Wisconsin who has done a lot of calipers. I believe it was TPH coatings. He does beautiful work. Search TPH Coatings

This where most Powder Coaters get there paint from... lots of choices

Place in WI is Madison Powder Coating Specialist.. pretty sure he uses
Prismatic to get his paint from.

Try bullseye powder coating.
Think you might have to buy the decals on Ebay.

Just a note of concern if you plan to track the car...mine went from silver (factory) to gold from heat. I had them re-coated and same thing happened again. At this point I am left with polishing the aluminum as the only option.

I would think they would use heat resistant paint for those.
