One lucky tattoo'd teener has his eyes on this set and wanted me to post a picture when they were done. This is a matched set of front (yes I do fronts) and rear calipers. Done in the very chic silver (clear zinc) with gold accents.
(buy all you want, we'll make more...) Attached image(s)

Sorry for the delayed response, I was out of town for the weekend. (take the I-15 to the 60 to the 83 to the 71 to the 57 to the 210 to the 134 to the 101 to the 134 to the 210 to the I-15... god, I love LA)
Qarl... zinc. I plate them first and then hone the bores. Clearance isn't a huge issue, the sealing ring takes care of that. Jeroen... bead blasting isn't an issue either. We simply don't bead blast directly into the bore. A standard brake cylinder hone found at your FLAPS will clean up everything. All the pistons get buffed to a mirror finish on a wheel and then tapped off and the tops get bead blasted to bare metal. Those get repainted with grey heat paint. |
