When I removed the molding on my 2007 Silverado in 2016, I could not tell the difference in the paint that was behind the molding and the rest of the panel. I used the 3M eraser wheel and 3M spray adhesive remover and was very pleased with how it came out. I was expecting to see some shadowing due to age but didn’t.
Can you or @89Suburban drop a link to your eraser wheels? I might have to pick one up and ditch some badging
Thanks homie
But you can tell they’re obviously off a Corvette which says to me you didn’t want to spend the money for Wilwoods or Brembos. I wouldn’t advertise that but that’s me. As far as the stupid caliper covers, those are just plain rice. Anybody that puts those on should hang their heads.
I have internet friends on a different site that didn't have good luck with wilwoods, I like Brembos but I don't like that I can't go to a parts yard or a store and get a replacement caliper the same day or by 9 a.m. the following morning.But you can tell they’re obviously off a Corvette which says to me you didn’t want to spend the money for Wilwoods or Brembos.

The paint will be the same since it’s protected by clear coat, unlike the old days when paint was a single stage product. The only damage will be to the clear and that sometimes comes off as yellowed due to uv but in most cases all it needs at most is a good buffing to match up with the stuff that’s been hiding under the molding.
And you'll never need another caliper either. Both those brands last pretty much forever and you can buy rebuild kits. If you’re concerned, have a kit on hand. They’re like the old days, when stuff was high enough quality that you rebuild it instead of replacing it. As far as pads, my Wilwoods will probably run for 100k on a set. The things are massive. I have never heard of anyone having problems with Wilwoods, what seems to be their issue? Mine were easy to install although with 16” rotors, wheel size and fitment was a concern although it was fine with my 22’s. No problems at all. Just make sure you center them correctly with the shims provided.
Ok. Sorry, That pic looks like shit.Also I Don't think a de-"badged" z06 caliper on a GMT900 really would look terribly different than a red painted toyota caliper
