Sanding Forks and maybe painting
« on: 19 June 2013, 09:24:46 pm »
Hi, so lately I have been thinking about sanding down the bottom part of my forks and either spraying them silver or just keeping it brushed aluminium as they're quite flakey.
Has anyone had a go at this and got any tips?
would you remove the forks to do this or just remove the wheel and mudguard?
 
Thanks, Dan

did my forks with satin black hamerite smooth ( spray)  - came out good and are easy to keep looking good.
