Having painted the calipers with the special paint to an understated black ceramic finish, I discover that for a princely sum of £90 I could have got a new (not refurbed) pair of M16 front calipers in a shiny silver anodised finish. However, KISS kicks in and common sense prevails that if I were to get new ones, the justification would be that they are considerably lighter than the existing ones. Aesthetics is not a reason to spend (unless it's shiny Protech shocks of course!)
