Default Caliper detailing.

Just overhauled my brake calipers and thought i'd paint the writing white similar to some nissin calipers ive seen. I'm pleased with the results

i'd do it in red personally if i was gonna do it at all. But then i like black n red as a combo if you didnt guess from my bike, lol.

Edit: actually forget that, just looked at pic again. Polished forks n rims? Then sand down the top of the raised writing on callipers and go for brushed metal look on em. That'd work a treat
