when you guys chang the color to black are you guys painting or powder? if painting what type of paint

 

I used Plasti-dip and it worked awesome. Masked everything on the bike and sprayed it and was amazed how well it turned out. If I ever take the forks apart to rebuild them I may get the parts powdercoated, but until then I am sticking with the plasti-dip. I have to say on those parts I like the denim black look of the plasti-dip better than most similar powdercoat colours I have seen. It is quite durable as long as no gas or oil gets near it. And if you don't like it, peel it off.

Total cost of the project was 1 can of plasti-dip which is $5 in the US and about $20 here in Canada.

 

we powder them all the time, actually have a package for HDF members of $150 for trees and lowers (includes dust caps and stearing stem cap free)















can even offer full tear down and rebuild for an additional charge

 

VHT Satin Black Epoxy on mine. $7/rattlecan at local auto parts joint. One can puts 5-6 coats on both 39mm lowers.

 

YA i agree , i have been powder coating for 15 years and i spray painted my lowers , gloss black powder coat scratches way to easy and is so not worth the hastle .i would powder coat your trees though but look around for a shop in your area i charge $75 for a small batch run like that.

 

Wow. Can't beat that cost!

A little time and effort without even taking the bike apart.

 

Powder coated my whole bike almost but the tins are painted

 

I had mine powder-coated. My '99 RG had coated lowers too. happy with them. I am the worst painter in the world and it always looks like crap.
