Has anyone done this? Im thinking of doing it and was wondering how easy it is, and does it look any good?

Did you do normal painting or did you get them powdercoated?

Any photos?

Where did you get the paint?

I ask a lot of questions don't I Rolling Eyes

Halfords do, as said, high temp paint for calipers, but it's designed for steel calipers as found on cars.. not aluminium ones on bikes. Wil be hard to find decent paint that will stick to Alu, which is why alu is often anodised, and/or laquered.

You can easily do it yourself. Make sure the surface your spraying is rough not smooth otherwise the paint won't stick. Also make sure you use high temp paint, otherwise other stuff will most likely melt under the hot conditions of the brakes.
