Default RE: Front Break Caliper Paiting

not to be an *** either but i think it would have looked better and been more durable if you disasembled them entirely and took them to a shop to be power coated in more of a flat red (similar to the honda type r valve cover) then grinded off the coating on the nissin letters to give it more of a stock look, but that method is a tad bit more expensive and time consuming then just painting it on. but if it makes you happy more power to ya man!

I don't like it. Different strokes for different folks though!

I'd say go get some Aircraft Stripper and put it back to black. If not black, I think even white would look better than the red is going to look. Maybe think about just the black or white caliper and make the letters red if you're set on having red on them? And I agree with everyone else, don't paint the bolts. Good luck.
