Default Painted lowers on the Dyna

Took a hour to sand each one, then 30mins to paint, let it sit for 3 days before putting the wheel back on. Did it all outside, just put a box under the forks to catch the overspray.

Looks good! Probably the best cheapest mod we can do!! I just used the appliance epoxy on my battery band and it turned out just as great.

Glad I can help. Tins would probably be a little sketchy unless you're good with wet sanding. I think on that big of area it will show to much orange peel. Although I've never used on anything bigger then our lowers.

Removing the front tire and brakes were easy as pie, as long as you have the right tools, and everything goes back to gether just as easy. You can even goto youtube and find a video that gives you the basics on removal. But definetly remember, DON'T touch the front brake lever after you remove the front brake caliper off the rotor. Good luck
