Cerakote coating Brake calipers and master cylinders

Post by Croz »

Anyone used Cerakote to coat the calipers and or master cylinders on their bikes?
Looks like would be a great hardwearing satin finish and resistant to brake fluid, heat and chipping. Just rebuilding mine and seeking advice on beat method to use. Tnx

I've used Cerakote, but not on those parts. I agree that it might be an excellent choice, but that's not from first-hand experience.

Honda used a rough mat grey finish on some of it’s larger twin piston brake calipers back in the day, I have a set on my 79 and like the look, try it and let us know how it works out.
