When I had my inferno I was going to paint mine silver. I planned on using the same paint as DCspecial did to paint his. It shines really good. I like how the CTS-V's look in red w/the silver calipers so that is where I got the idea.

Scottina has an inferno with his calipers painted gold (almost brembo gold) and it looks really sharp on his rig.

you can paint yopur calipers any color that can be mixed. Mine are pretty close to Brembo gold with red stickers and then cleared. Been almost 2 years and they look perfect.

You have any pics ? Did you just use regular paint ? I have some inferno red 2 stage aerosol paint I had made I was thinkning of using it on the calipers. Think it would hold up ?

its all in the prep bro. Sand them down really good, do not touch with bare hands and paint them in light coats till you get good coverage, let dry for a day or so, then add the stickers. The clearcoat si the most important. Get 5-6 coats of it and thenwet sand for a pro shine.....BUT...I let a pro do mine and they used an aerospace coating and clearcoat.
