This is the third colour ive tried - still not sure on my pearl/blue/green bike - the last colour i put on was a wrinkle black - took me a week to get right and still looked awful - this colour is rover pulsar silver and the rims are polished - what do you think ?
cheers

Erm, a bit bling?

As said before, need to see them on the bike really; but not my cup of tea.

Ignore me, everyone else likes them....

The silver looks great. =D>

Not a fan of polished, well anything really. Too much trouble to keep clean.

Even when lacquered even dirty water marks spoil it, meaning you spend every last minute cleaning it to make it look good.

Just my 5 cents

Like everybody else these days im trying to do this on a real tight budget -very little getting replaced - so that means dirty nights in the garage with my japanese girlfriend !!
Heres the brakes - i think im about a month before i start reassembling everything.

What did you use ? I've just picked up halfords caliper spray, but only had silver

Gold looks the business !!

Wouldn't mind a dirty Janapese girlfriend..........

............oh, I see !!!

Calipers were stripped back to bare then i sprayed them with excellent stuff called Rustoleum adhesion primer (2102) this is great stuff for all parts taken back to the metal .Top coat is a Halfords colour called nissan gold - its real close to the original colour - Hose ends were refurbed with a colour called vauxhall moonland - gives a nice grey anodised look great for odd brackets and bits and pieces

cheers
