It doesn't matter if it gets painted but simply polishing it with autosol would have looked much better.
That also means you wouldn't have had the hassle of removing the brake pipe (and bleeding them afterwards) and handbrake cable! |

Because it's in 2 parts. There's a alloy block part with the piston and handbrake mechanism. This part doesn't need painting. There's also the C shaped section that's made from steel. That's the only bit that needs painting.
The gold part is the only bit that needs painting...
The rest of the caliper is alloy and doesn't need painting.

| Thats the only part that is really visable, otherwise you'll have to take the whole caliper off and bleed the brakes, Take a look at edwards Garage. |
