I have completely stripped down the front calipers. I have replaced all the seals and glass bead media blasted them. They look amazing! I am looking to restore the to exect OEM specs.

The question is, what color if any are they supposed to be on there? Mine were so dirty and old I couldn't tell what they were! I realize I can just spray them black hi-temp paint. Just trying to be through. Thanks everybody!

Yellow cad or yellow zinc plated.

Wow. Thank you so much!!! I am now in the hunt for someone to professionally plate my calipers.

Are the rear drum brakes also yellow plated? Thank you for the insight!!

Check out Eastwood. They have the correct color cad spray.

Sorry for the ignorance. But which yellow or gold zinc plating do I need? I found a shop in Sacramento, but I need to provide them with the correct product to plate the calipers. Thank you in advance
