Hey all. My front forks are looking a little tired from where the lacquer has come of. What can I do to tidy them up. Or make them shiney again

Rub them down and give them a lick of paint?

I was looking to do mine aswell. Thinking about just masking the forks and getting some hammerfight and a fine brush.

Dont know how it will look, Smile

It'll probably look 'ok' to start with but hammerite is rubbish once you get a stone chip, it just flakes off. I used tetrosyl primer and satin black spray paint on one of mine about 3 years ago and its still perfect. Good hardwearing paint.
