I for some reason really like gold calipers on bikes, cars, u name it. It kinda gives what ever it is that Brembo look. Is there a good way to paint the calipers with out it looking like a chop job? Has anybody done this to their bikes and if so do you have pictures. I just really want my bike to have a different look than stock and im trying to change as many things as i can. thanks

Somebody on here changed their calipers out and it looked nice but I can't remember who it was.

The exhaust kind of hides it, but this might give you some kind of idea on the rear

So did you paint it or do a swap with a gold one?

I have used caliper paint on my cars with good results, I am just not sure if it comes in gold or not..
