My Corvette(s):
Default Painted caliper letters
Just painted my calipers with Rustoleum Gloss Sunrise Red per several threads. Did the entire caliper even the letters then, when dry, used a Dremel Tool with wire brush tip and removed the paint on the letters. Worked great. Lew W

I wiped my letters down with thinner on a Q-Tip and it came out great!

Just painted my calipers, a very fine dry/wet sandpaper wrapped around a block of wood got the paint off the letters in just a few strokes!

A cool trick for the letters is to grind the paint off with a dremel and finish the letters with a little clear nail polish.
