I have a new bike incoming that is primarily Gray and black with blue bits on it (hubs, skewers, headset) and it has BB7 brakes on it. The problem is that BB7 brakes have Red adjustment caps. Is there different color caps available? I would really like to have blue or black adjustment caps. I have done some searching and I have not been able to find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

BB7 SL is polished w/ black bits. Best to find a used pair as Sram asks quite a premium for them.

Yes I saw that the SL had the black caps but I could not find a place on the Sram site to purchase the caps. I was really hoping for blue :)

No blue caps, and the Sl ones are not compatible with standard BB7. Krylon?

Or just unload them in the classifieds and get the Shimano CX75 calipers instead.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like the red will need to stay unless I decide to paint them.

Paint 'em. They're plastic and easy to pop off.

Here are they are in black:
