Electric Blue Stock Calipers COATED!!
I Just coated the stock Calipers and rotors and even the back shim side of thestock pads with Fireballs Electric Blue Candy powder ceramic combo. Since I couldn't find a rebuild seal kit for the stock calipers, I did them in a low temp cure ceramic black, and theoutside mounting bracket and the outside faces of the brake pads in a high temp Candy Electric Ford blue. The rotors are coated with black heat dispersement coating. I wanted to contrast the Grabber orange with either red or blue......so I chose to try the electric blue....and I think I like it!

Was watching Rides on TLC the other day when they spent and hour w/ Roush all about the s197. The main color car they did a makeover was grabber orange, but the narrator called it yellow. Narration is done by Jason Prestley who is a big car nut, I'm sure he knew the difference but just had to read what was written. Not sure what the point is, just was stuck in my head since they aired it and seemed like the most fitting time to mention it.

WOW ......TOUGH CROWD!! LOL.
The calipers are NOT chipped anywhere.........now that I look at the pic I see what you mean. They are really hard to capture on film because the colour is a reflective blue ( a chrome finish under a blue clear coat) and it has highlight reflection.....so it is tricky to get a photo that does it justice.
I tried different lighting and no flash and got a few pics that show itbetter.
Even the grabber ORANGE is in question.....LOL.The car is a STOCK 07 GT-CS....GRABBER orange. The paint does look yellow in the sun light, and orange at night.
