dont paint them if you are not going to mask off the brembo. a Black caliper with white lettering is good. ALL BLACK? NO. I have seen people painted them all white. Terrible.

I love the gold too. At very first, before I ever got a G, I wasn't a huge fan of the gold, but it grew on me. I wouldn't have them any other way.

Painting is a good idea, but a good powdercoat will yield a more durable finish that is less prone to chipping etc. As far as masking the brembo letters off, that isn't a good idea, since it will likely not be perfect. You are better off applying vinyl lettering on top or painting on top
