Bit of laquer would be my choice,the less work the better.
Depends how much,and in what weather the bikes gonna get used i surpose.
I think it looks"excellent dude" =D> .
Will have to look it up,but is bead blasting(ie the actual "beads")dearer than sand blasting?Would sand blasting give similar results?

Just been having a difference of opinion on another site about this as some are saying the gold finish is paint and not anodising
Well all i can say would they paint the inside of the caliper too
Also vapour blasting will remove anodising apparently

I sand blasted a pair of zxr750 calipers a few years back using aluminium oxide media & it gives a matt finish but as HC says, a good going over with a brass brush gives you a shiny finish.Would sand blasting give similar results?
But like anything polished, you need to keep on top of it

The slot on the black RS 250 caliper hanger needs to be the same as the silver RGV one

Cleaned the front RGv calipers today
They had stuck in pistons and loads of corrosion around the seal area
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
A dremel with a brass wire wheel and jobs a good'n
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Looks like i can reuse the pistons too
![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
Just wished i had done a before and after as they were pretty bad
