My fork lowers look like hell. Any cheap easy way to blk them out?

 

I have had pretty good luck with appliance epoxy, it will run very easy tho, so do multiple light coats and make sure you clean everything I did my front end about a year ago and still looks great, won't compare to powder coat but it will do the trick for someone on a budget

 

" Anyone had any luck spray painting front forks,"
No but I haven't tried.

 

My boyfriend painted some forks black on a bike he was working on for a customer. It turned out looking pretty nice. It wasn't rattle can though.

 

Did you do just the lowers? Or did you do the triple trees too? Any particular brand epoxy you used?

Thanks for the replies..

 

Make sure bike is on a jack (to extend forks). MASK OFF EVERYTHING GOOD!! Use a real fine sand paper to clean lowers & use at least 6 light coats. Take your time. As stated before, appliance paint works well. Picked up a '93 that had been under a tarp in Fla. for 8 years. The lowers were shot but with a little work, they look great now.

 

Did my XLCH with a rattle can. Silver matched the aluminum cast pretty good. If they get rock chips, I just sand and re do. Look like new.

 

I know Plasti Dip is a good option that has worked well on forks. Easy to touch up. Just peel it off if you don't want it any more.

I used engine block paint and it looked good, but chipped a lot. I hear that the appliance epoxy is the way to go. Here's a link that looks pretty good: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...ower-legs.html
