The rear is a PP 2CT. I'm sure he has the same on the front too.

The sub-frame thingies are just some thin ABS plastic I had hanging around.

How much of a PITA was it to paint the calipers?

Don't think he painted it, simply stripped the paint off to the metal finish.

I took off the binders and glass beaded them. Finished them with a satin clear. Not that much work really. I got some plastic plug to seal the holes for the fluid and taped off the pistons. When I reinstalled then I used some speed bleeders, what a great product.

Worth the money then (esp. seeing as they're cheap)? I thought I'd put some on when things start looking like track season is getting close, ie- when it isn't 10 fricken degrees outside.
The bikes could do with fresh fluid by then so makes sense to hit it all at the same time.

The new fluid alone will amaze you in the new feel the brakes have. My bike will be three years old in March. Not that many miles (10,000) but I was really surprised at the new feel. If you have ever bled you brakes then you will love the speed bleeders. I did have to wear socks this morning. wooo 55 degrees.
