has anyone ever painted the brakes of their bike?
I wanted to get a new saddle for my mountain bike the same as my road bike's one as it's really comfy. But they only had white ones in so I thought that'd look really good on my road bike as it's mainly black but with white bits anyway, so now i've got a white saddle on and have put the black one my mtb.. BUT - i now think my road bike would look even more cool with white bar tape and white brakes.
Obviously I would dismantle the caliper first so the paint wouldn't clog up the moving parts. But given that, what harm could a coat of hammerite do? If it would be too thick and look a bit streaky, i was thinking i could powder coat them, having put blu-tack in the thing the centre screw threads through?
is it a hair-brained idea, or is it likely to be ok (or both?)
