Not that you're likely to change your mind but red would look good! It would make them look all exotic and expensive! (waits and listens for the chorus of "Chav")

I thought about that mate but not having many colours on the bike anyway i thought Red might look out of place. Does look good i know but i don't think my bike would do it justice. I've seen black with red writing and that looked sexual. Abit late now i know but i'm happy.

I'll try and find that pic of the black calipers, i think you'll agree.

Gold is OK I suppose. What paint did you use?

Plasti-cote metal enamel stuff, seems to have done the job. Says it will withstand heat upto 150degrees so should be ok.

As long as it'll resist brake fluid

I was just remembering a guy on Visordown who painted his calipers with Halfords cellulose and was surprised when it all came off- that stuff goes soft with petrol never mind brake fluid.

I have a couple of pairs of the radial brakes, which should do you I think - they're from 600 or 750, not sure if there's a difference.

Let me know if you still need some, or if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer Billy, if you look on page 4 though you'll see the ones i've been painting up. If you'd have only said a few days ago.

Cheers, Rich
