These have come out really well, a slightly different colour than they went in, but hardly noticeable. I knocked the 2 arms together, and they didn't chip.
I'm still going to lacquer them though.

Good man Dan.
Guess that makes you better at the basics than Nick.

Bad news on this is, although there seems to be no chipping, the colour has gone a slightly more orange colour from curing in the oven, but again, I'm not that gutted, as it's for a rider only.
This pic is with a coat of lacquer on.

Well I've assembled the caliper, added Del's decals, and fitted it to the Robbo. It's a more orangey colour than I wanted, but all the other parts are different shades of red too, so I reckon I can live with it.
It's cost me about £16 too, a fraction of a pucker MX1000 in red.
