This year, I plan to RE-Paint my calipers. Black of course.
I think this time I'll add some clear for durability and shiny-ness.
What do you all think? Clear or no clear???

I think you should just get them powdercoated and not worry about it again.

How are things in Lexington?

Ive got a winter project planned too, but its a on a larger scale, and Im still not sure if its going to happen.

Ha Ha, You guys are too funny.
Just not sure I want to spend that kind of $ on caliper paint. Sort of on the fence but not sure I want to mess with removing them and then bleeding the brakes, etc, etc...
