Calipers

They aren't difficult to paint , just make sure you are using High Temp paint if you do it …….annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd they even make a High Temp " Cognac " match ……. VHT - SP 402 …... Mike hyea:

I painted mine a couple of years ago. Still looks good.

Hi temp paint should work. I'm not sure I would cover them as these puppies can get HOT :bbq: I wouldn't do anything that impedes airflow. One reason rear pads often wear quicker is because the rear caliper doesn't get the cooling air that the front calipers do.

That looks Awesome JC! Is that a decal or did you hand paint the Brembo? Also, did you remove em to paint em, or did you leave em on the byke and mask everything off?

Did you take em off or leave em on and mask everything?

I'm thinking a grabber blue, like from the Ford Mustangs.

I would prefer proper brake caliper paint myself, however years ago Can Am did offer in the accessory catalog some kind of caliper cover to add some color to the calipers.

I left them on and masked everything. I used G2 USA Brake Caliper Paint System.
