Brake Caliper coating
Anyone know of a coating what can be done to the front brake calipers apart from paint, I have the CBR 600 F4 ones and they are matt black and they are a pain to keep clean, Thanks in advance

I had mine anodised by a firm in Bracknel, a mate of Mark(GLSR). Very good results and reasonable price, all completed by post

Plasticoat is best. Hard wearing and sh1t doesn't stick so much

Re: Brake Caliper coating
having seen the pics of kev's calipers, i'd say that's the firm to go with, top quality.
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

Sorry for the late response, some of us have to work for a living!!!!
It cost £110 for two front callipers and one rear caliper. I sent them stripped and they were blasted, coated black and the Nissin polished up again.
I will try to stick some photos on here for you chaps.

Re: Brake Caliper coating
I have just had the Ducati brembo calipers powder coated after the anodising didn't work
(They turned out a patchwork of different shades)
I gave them a bit of a clean up in the blasting cabinet first
They have come up a treat
