Just bought a G2 set I have a black 2010 vette. Making the calipers black and the Vette letters gold! Def thought it would have been easy also. Def a project. Haha
Just subscribed, I too just bought a 2000 c5 convertible 6 speed and look so forward to your journey with your vette..I appreciate the little tips you suggest and will be going through just about everything your doing in your video's to mine...thanks for starting your channel and look forward to more!
Fresh paint on those will look nice. I just got the G2 kit in a few days ago. Just waiting on the weather to warm up a bit since I don't have a garage. Good job so far.
Thanks for the video. Getting ready to replace all of my pads. Just bought a 2012 Grand Sport, that I absolutely love. I want to paint my calipers as well, but will probably wait for another time so I can get the important part done first without worrying about time. Thanks for the info on lifting the car up. Didn't think about using stands in that location. That is one clean garage! Props there. Wish I could get mine like that. New Sub here.
Excellent. Project I'd like to do so just knowing what kit I need and how/where to jack the car has been really helpful. Presumably you could run the metal sander off a drill if you don't have a compressor? Looking forward to part 2! Thanks.
I got mine from Harbor Freight. I wouldn’t recommend them for a C5 Corvette. The front overhang scrapes the ramps. I would go with Race Ramps. Get the “Roll Ups”. They are $158.
Very good . Tip leave the jack to support the car along with the stands if possible as added safety measure.
Hello Christ nice job , they are going to look great.

I took mine off and used paint stripper and a pressure washer, pretty good job

I powder coated mine and that was 2 yrs ago and they still look new

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Great video Chris. Should get rid of those chrome lug nuts, and get black, I did, makes a big difference in appearance for a small cost.
Great video, looking forward to the end result. Defenately a project i have planned for the future. Greetings from holland
Thank you. Welcome.

I would use a corded drill if you have one. You would go through a lot of batteries with a cordless.
I love it very good my boy keep up and love video
What is that tool called that you used to remove the paint?
Pneumatic grinder with a wire wheel.
Do those ramps work with the equinox?
Just joined few days ago. Great info thank you. I was wondering what brand ramps did you buy and approx. cost? Thanks
I got mine from Harbor Freight. I wouldn’t recommend them for a C5 Corvette. The front overhang scrapes the ramps. I would go with Race Ramps. Get the “Roll Ups”. They are $158.
Do you absolutely positively have to use heat resistant paint on the calipers?! (I don’t drive hard or race). Thank you
Yes. Even normal driving your brakes can get to around 400 degrees F.
@@mycorvettelife THANK YOU BRO! Now to find heat paint that’s kobalt blue! lol. Everybody likes red!!! lol lol
Part 2 link?
More time was spent cleaning up the garage, filming and buying some power tools from harbor freight than the actual painting.
