Ok, i want to paint the Front Brake Caliper RED and perhaps the back too...

I wanted to know if anyone has done this? what might be the easiest way, painting it on there with a brush? Taking it off and spray painting it? Is the process of removing the front break caliper a hard process?

 

Actually, after reading the manual, it seems quite difficult to remove the brake calipers by your self?

I see that you have to take off the hydrolic system drain the fluid, take off the bolts, paint it, but the bolts back on AT A SPECIFIC torque. and then refil the hydrolic fluid....

SO, maybe painting it on there with a brush with HIGH TEMP PAINT might be the best way to go?

FINALLY finished the paintings to the brake calipers today!

Tell me what you think, I would like input.

 

I would have removed the bolts prior to painting.....

To remove when the paint hardens you will have a hell of a time trying to get the bolts out... IMAO

 

yea man, your right, i didnt think of it...[&:]

I cant tell if looks ok apperance wise, or does it look too unprofessional.

 

i'm not trying to offend you here, but that looks like crap. taking a caliper off isn't really that hard. and if it would have been your first time just go slow, it not a major job

 

It looks good if you sand the paint off the word on the front of the calliper it will look sweet...
And try to get the paint off the the bolts....

 

k thanks for the output..

 

k i will try that sometime tomorrow, i messed up with the bolts, getting off that might be tricky

 

i might have been a little rough, i argee with F4i-nsane if you can get it off the bolts and lettering it will look a lot more professional. also the red does seem to match the bike well
