Red Calipers

Painted my calipers using Eastwood's hi-temp 2 part epoxy paint. Red (or any color) calipers are a matter of personal taste, but if you do paint them use only a high quality hi temp epoxy or better yet go with powder coat (highest grade). A caution note is to have plenty of fresh air circulation (not re-circulating) as the best paints have the nastiest chemicals.

painted calipers are always a nice touch. I can't decide if I want to go with red or a bright blue on mine.

What color are they stock (on the SS)? And do all HHR's come with the same color? I saw a red panel with red calipers one day and wasn't sure if it was stock or not.

Mine are silver, and as far as I know that is what is stock on all SS models.

That does look very sharp c2Vette! That is one of the first mods I want to do to mine as well.

I did that to my 93 Eldorado I once had, and also cross drilled the rotors and they turned out great. It took me a few days to finish as I was doing it as a side job at work, but it was worth it!
