Default Painted calipers

I have seen several pictures of 2007 Tahoe's with painted calipers. I was wondering if anybody knew where to buy some in red or yellow?

My '02 TrailBlazer had nice silver calipers. Not sure why with the larger wheels and more visible calipers, the new Tahoe's aren't.

Hope this helps.

Painted calipers are normally associated with high performance cars not necessarily trucks or SUV's. And if the factory installed every little goodie and mod it wouldn't leave a whole lot for the guys that like to tinker around and personalize their rides, would it?

Not to mention that if GM painted them red then 90% of you guys would belly ache that they weren't yellow.

Nice grill. Could you tell what it was? Looks like a fine mesh.

When I uploaded that picture to shutterfly it resized it some. It does have a fine mesh grill. I wish I could remember what site I found it on.

I understand that logic, but why not at least make the calipers match each other? I am going to paint mine a nice gloss black along with the rusty tail pipe.
