Welcome aboard, Mark.

Paint the forks? Hammerite will do just fine (no kiddin)

Hi Mark,

Welcome to the site. When I did my R1100S forks, I stripped them back with automotive Nitromors, then painted them with silver wheel paint and a final coat or two of lacquer. It made a heck of a difference.

If you use Hammerite, make sure its the smooth stuff you apply

Cheers,

Paul
