    (when you quote a post with a pic, knock the pic link out)

    The pipe? The part of the brake line pipe? It's one of chacal's stainless steel lines, with the silver bits spray-painted flat black.

    The brake hub and caliper were painted with Duplicolor gloss black 'Brake Caliper paint' (supposedly high ceramic content) it does seem to hold up well.

    He might be asking about the fork tube. Those brake disks look sweet!

    Oh, ok. If it's the fork tubes, I honestly don't know. They came that way on the '83s' I think it's powder coat, but might just be paint. (I used paint to touch them up...)

    Powder coating was still a relatively new thing in 1982...
