If you want to avoid pitting then just keep it parked. Sand ,rocks and other debris will cause that.

Also living on the coast with salt water, fog and all the humidity this year isn't good.

You can powder coat them.

Is it easy to take apart those forks? I would like to paint them matte black.

The corrosive salt air will eat them up. Might try using some Chrome polish and then waxing them, or any type of coating compound, that way it keeps the salt off of the forks.
