Guy's, what is the consensus of opinion on whether to paint or powder coat calipers if you are looking for a factory finish, paint would be easiest but I don't want to ruin it the first time I bleed the brakes, just a bit concerned the powder might be a bit thick.
Any thoughts appreciated .

I got mine anodised because brake fluid is a very effective paint stripper.

Ditto Adrian with Satin black but I then go over with a few coats of Satin lacquer just for a little extra protection. Also Satin paint will 'take' a Polish and will start to look a gloss finish, the lacquer helps stop this.
As long as you wipe off any fluid leaks straight away it shouldn't affect the finish.

I get mine blasted and painted in twin pack satin black. This seems pretty resistant to brake fluid.
