DicesCedes - Looks like you got them painted! Are you pleased with the results? Noticed that you painted the bleed nipple. I removed mine for several reasons, but primarily because I saw others who painted theirs and after awhile the paint began to peel and looked like sh*t! I think you can use Vaseline to strip the rubber piece. More pics please!

Yeah, I was reading about that and I was surprised it came back painted. Gonna ask the shop if they did anything special to paint or can I expect to look like you said.
I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I thought the copper was going to be a little more metallic but really like the curved decals. That was a last minute switch that I am glad I did.

Thanks everyone for the replies to the picture request, input and feedback. I waited like 2 years to do this and happy with the results. The copper takes a little getting used to behind satin charcoal but it does stand out. Probably would look better behind an all black wheel. I will post how the paint is holding up in a few months.

Changed the caps and took a pic of the caliper.
