Front Fork Polishing

Front Fork Polishing
Been thinking going to chrome forks, and checked ebay.
Noticed a lot of them on there are now just polished on there for sale. Have a few questions.
Has anyone polished theirs right on the bike, how did you strip the clear coat, and what procedure you used to polish and materials. I don't want to start something that will look like $hit when completed.
If you have polished ones, what's the upkeep.

polishing lowers
Started out with 180 grit to remove clear coat and machine marks and just started wet sanding my way on up to 1000 grit finished off with 25000 grit which is much like sanding with toilet paper! polished out with jewelers rough and buff wheel on a die grinder and finally several applications of Mothers aluminum polish and done! a bit labor intensive but something you can definitely do yourself! worth the effort!
