NICE! Looks good....did you do them yourself or had them done...if so how much did it run ya and about how long did it take? I painted mine with engine paint after i sanded them down, but i have a few chips in them from rocks and stuff so I was thinking about re-doing them but powdercoating is the way to go!

Powdercoating took about a week and a half.....cost $300 but I didn' t have to disassemble the piston out of the caliper......

I love the red with black, but won't the color fade sooner or later?

I think if you paint it and put clear coat on it will look better but cost you mor $$$ as well...

I like a painted caliper with clear cost on... hum... like the Brembos...

I got them powdercoated because it'll last longer than paint. I didn't get RED because everyone has red....how many people have you seen with this color?.....

Just my opinion.......hence my personalized plate

sure you gotta be creative, but that Silver Vein effect is kinda weird. looks like its dirty or something.
as far as being creative, i've got personalized plates on my bike..

Just my opinion...
