Can you paint calipers (using G2) while on the car?

Does everyone paint the stock calipers, or are there any better ones?

I painted mine using the G2 cliper kit as well. I like how yours came out. The color is a great match.

You can get f body calipers for the front nad paint or powder coat them. You can also swap in grand prix GXP brakes.

sry i just saw this today.

I found a really good how-to video on the Ls1 forums, It was a video on how to take apart f-body calipers, I just used the same method for both my f-body calipers and stock rear ones. I just can't seem to find the link though

I've seen people paint/powdercoat all sort of calipers, not just the stock ones. The F-Body ones, I believe, are a different material and not just "blah-black" colored like the stock, so some people are more inclined to leave them metallic silver.

f-body ones are made of aluminum, and have 2 pistons per caliper, stock gp calipers have a single piston per caliper. I didn't want to leave my f-body calipers un-coated because i was afraid of pitting from salt over time.

btw your gp looks really good with those color matching calipers
