Stripping paint from fork lowers

[Grahamm]

I would advise against powder coating anything, chips are not practical to repair and water will eventually get under the plastic where any bolts go once you've had them off a few times

Thanks for the advice. I'd pretty much decided against powder coating, but that's probably put the nail in its coffin for good :thumbup

I'd recommend emerying them down to 1200 and  clear lacquer, looks great and can be repaired, assuming you were planning on painting them silver ?

Yes, I've got the paint I used to respray the rear footpeg hangers, plus etch primer and clear coat to use, it was mostly just how to get the old and very battered paint off easiest that I was concerned about.
