If you didn't get the 142.xxxx calipers (which are prepainted), then you should definitely paint them.
I just finished painting my calipers using the G2 paint system.
I also ordered stainless steel speed bleeders for when i reinstall the brakes.
I tried the regular ones that are made of brass, but i broke them all off... They were hard to screw in, and I couldn't tell when they were seated. I hope the stainless ones perform better. I'll also be very careful not to over tighten them.
Photos of paint job are here.
Now i have to let em dry and wait for my speed bleeders to arrive.
Here are the speed bleeder part numbers I ordered. I'm getting the stainless steel because i broke off all of the brass ones i had previously ordered.
