Strida Folding Bike easy cosmetic modification

Just completed a quick (most time required was letting the coats of paint cure) paint job on the brake calipers of a Strida Sport Duo. This is a fairly easy project if you are ok with completely removing and partially disassembling the calipers.

To protect the threads, bearings and other large threaded surfaces, I stuffed in paper towel. It was easy to get it shaped perfectly around the edges.

I used automotive engine paint spray. For some reason there are people who like to have their engine block painted Lime Green; I guess that is similar to those who like their disc calipers lime green.

After giving the caliper and arm time to cure, I reassembled the brakes and reinstalled on the bike. The end result is very cool.
