Paint them the same color as the car, with chrome caliper decals IMO

I think black with "camaro" lettering looks the best.

i did mine red, but i also have red in other place on the car, so it fits the theme...

I wanted to paint them the same color as the car it's just that the paint is not a high temp. It's just a matching paint in a spray can you can buy at autozone will that work or will it just come off??

Brent used krylon spray paint on his so I guess regular paint is just fine but just to be safe use high heat low gloss black or flat black as a primer to take the blunt of the heat...

What color should I paint my LS1 calipers? I have mystic teal paint, and I highly doubt they make a 'mystic teal' spraypaint.
