Default Saved $492!!!!

... 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!
