Replacement part for xt brake
Hey, does anybody know if there is any parts that will fit on a Deore XT BL-M785-B right hand to replace "Y8VC04000" (the reservoir lid) in black, as I have a chrome one that doesnt match my bike at all.

Bikes are okay, I guess.

Paint will be the cheapest and easiest way to go. Not the answer you want, most likely. A little sanding first to scuff the surface.

Long OOP brakes, no one is going to make accessories for them now, as suggested above, painting is not only the cheapest and easier, it's also the only real option, as these were only offered in a chrome finish when new.
Would look at stripping the chrome first if paint, oven cleaner may do this, durability of the finish will probably be an option no matter how you do it.

Powder coating would be the most durable option. Won't be particularly cheap.
