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.

Guess that makes you better at the basics than Nick.

More of a DIY Paint it like Anodise; it's come up pretty good

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.
