GT 750B caliper paint ?

Post by T350guy »

I'm getting ready to paint my Calipers on my 77 750B
Were they a satin Black like the headlight ears or Gloss Black?
Thanks
Ian

I've always used a semi-gloss black as I prefer the look, although the frames themselves were gloss black and so probably the callipers were also. Personal choice. 8)

I went with gloss too and am happy with the look.

No really... it's supposed to smoke.

VHT Caliper Paint (Satin Black) is pretty close to original-looking
