I'm leaving for the Hot Rod Power Tour Monday and have one last project
Friday I will begin to remove all 4 calipers and prime, paint and ceramic clear coat them, in addition to adding Speed Bleaders and Goodrich (sp? )SS Brake Lines. Since my car is DSOM, I don't want to match the color exactly so I opted for Mango Tango Toxic Orange which is a Chrysler color. Side by side the paint is more orange and the DSOM is more red on top of Hi-Temp Gray Primer, I also will consider painting the Corvette letters black before I clear coat. I want the letters to be sharp and not sloppy so if I cant do a great job, I will sand off the top of the letters and leave them aluminum/natural DSOM left and Mango Tango Toxic Orange right [URL=http://s556.photobucket.com/user/LAPCO/media/2014-06-05155250_zpsc516016b.jpg.html]  [/URL] |

I used a Hi temp 1200 degree Primer, then the Orange, then 500 degree ceramic clear coat, I am hoping for the best regarding the orange not being hi temp. [URL=http://s556.photobucket.com/user/LAPCO/media/2014-06-07131258_zps98383cda.jpg.html]  [/URL] |

Nice finishing touch. It's amazing how the little things really pop.
Keep us posted on how it holds up. |

Thanks guys, I'm hoping the paint stays on, it is sandwiched between Hi-Temp primer and Hi-Temp Clear Coat, if it does not, then I will have them powder coated .
I will say that the speed bleeders made the bleeding process totally a piece of cake |

I bought a set of speed bleeders for mine but haven't installed them yet. Glad to hear they work well.
