... By spending $8 on Red Caliper Paint!!! LOL! I can't believe HD wants $500 for red calipers!
I didn't break the lines... I just took them off the forks, removed pads, removed outer bolts and left the middle one in... DO NOT SPLIT THE CALIPER!!!
I meticulously taped off the lines and used a bolt and string to keep the calipers away from the bike... bike was tarped with cotton sheets.
4-5 even coats is all it took.. even shot the covers in satin black....
Wait for the the paint to dry... assemble and re-install....
LOVE the contrast against the Vivid Black and Chrome!
