Painted Caliper Pics
Hey Guys,
I am painting the calipers on my '03 Annie and was wondering what everyone's opinion was on painting the caliper brackets or not...I am undecided on whether I should paint them at the same time and if it should be the same color as the calipers(50th Anniv.Red) or maybe black or just leave them unpainted but give them a good cleaning.
What are your opinions?
Also, if you guys out there had some pics of YOUR painted calipers with the brackets painted or not painted, I would love to see them.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
AWard.

The brackets are steel so they need to have some type of paint or they rust.
To me, they look funny painted a different colour. But then, flat black on the brackets would work with most colours.

Go to thepowdercoater.com and look at his pics for calipers. This will last a lot longer than paint. He did mine and everyone loves the look of the yellow with the black letters. He's a member here on the forum. Excellent work

I would paint the brackets with something (either black or AE red) otherwise it will stand out as looking unfinished when you have a freshly painted portion right next to it.
