I was changing out my rear caliper two weeks ago for another used one (25 € at the local dealer) but it looked quite ugly (lots of gold paint scratched off), so I decided to repaint it. I was quite satisfied with just stripping the old paint off with scotchbrite, however. What do you think? (I know the picture sucks, will try to get a better shot when the sun comes out)
I kind of like the raw metal look of it - I'm not a fan of polished stuff... I'm thinking of maybe doing the same to the front calipers and even my new tank (I'd clearcoat that one afterwards, though).
This is the reason for changing the old out:
(the pistons would hardly move at all even when using a lot of force - just getting them out was a PITA)
