Hello folks, now I've had the fairing re-sprayed it's made the calipers look even worse so time to sort them out.
Has anyone any experience in anodizing or powder coating their calipers and if it will stand up to road riding long enough to do it? Or is just using caliper paint the best approach?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated
Thanks

whatever you do decide, you really need to keep on top of cleaning them, which means taking them off every now and again cleaning the pistons etc and a real good clean with a toothbrush (not yours or your mrs!). If you dont clean them well then whatever you do will look pretty naff pretty quick anyway.
