How easy is it to re-paint the calipers?Might consider re-doing all mine

 

Easy peezy.

Remove inc pads, clean, paint, refit,+ bleed brakes then add new decales from ebay:)

 

Just make sure you clamp off your brake pipes on the rubber hose to stop the brake fluid draining out!

Heat proof paint is best too.

 

good luck!

easy, do 1 wheel at a time, get a small ish brush, and just paint it slowly, inside the edges, around the back and use a 1" for a level finish on the main front part. Or you can open the callipers like i did to get every bit covered:) if your not to familiar with callipers, leave them closed, mask the discs of to:) try not to touch the brake pad as it will look a bit messy.

 

1 bolt at the bottom rear to open the calliper, when putting it back down use a rubber handled bar to push the piston back, and open the resivor just incase:)

 

have to strip mine down and paint again as my first go was messy
