Black2003SS Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 If I'm going to do this, I'll go buy some reman. calipers from autozone or murrays and start with clean calipers, tape 'em off, paint em, and then isntall them, take the old dirty ones back to the store for my core charge.

1 Fast SS Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Those do look good. Mine is black, i've been debating on whether to paint them silver or red. Paint them red, they will stand out on black and look kick a$$. But thats my opition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssfromsd Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 (edited) Anyone have pics of a black SS with clampers painted red? What Product did you use? What do you have to do if anything to the ''SS'' graphics to get them to stay/not melt off?

What do you have to do if anything to the ''SS'' graphics to get them to stay/not melt off? I jut used some engine paint, its pretty durable. But make sure you mask off completely!! You have wheel speed sensors behind there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennSS Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Looks great thats what I want to do. What kind did you you use???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I got my kit from MidAmerica (corvette superstore). It was a complete kit including a multipart epoxy paint and cleaner. It is very durable. I got my SS graphics from Autoguy and they have lasted a year without coming off. I got a couple of sets just in case though.

shreveportSS Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You need the SS stickers then clear coat over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZWV Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) Here you go, High temp paint, stickers and clear coated over. I took them off of the truck and used a dremel to grind off the rough casting edges and smooth everything up. I am very happy with the results.

1 Fast SS Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Those do look good. One of these days, I'll get me some SS sticks for mine. I've been working 13hrs a day, and don't have time for it right now. But it does look better with them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.0vortech Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Here you go, High temp paint, stickers and clear coated over. I took them off of the truck and used a dremel to grind off the rough casting edges and smooth everything up. I am very happy with the results. I did mine the exact same way with the same kind of decals in brushed aluminum on black calipers! Looks sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
