Forks - Repainted
 

Replaced the oil in the forks at the weekend and took the opportunity to repaint as they were looking a bit worse for wear.

Not sure about the colour? And yes I know there are paint runs :D

Looking good! Been meaning to do the same job can i ask what paint you used? ( not the colour code, the rest please )

A simple tin of Hammerite Copper (Hammered finish). Not very professional I know but hey ho we will see how it lasts. :D

Sometimes I am as well. Can't decide whether I like it or not.:!:

Re: Forks - Repainted
 

If the rest of the frame was that colour then maybe it may look okay. Good work though.

WTF!?

I'm worrying about you BF. Seriously...



..ish.:p



I just Nitromors'd my forks and got busy with the polishing blocks and Autosol. Came out great. See how it handles the salt and crap.

I have some Nitromors left fella.;)

If you're not happy about it (omly person that matters really) and want to change colour atleast now you have a good undercoat, all you'd need to do is very lightly wet & dry them a bit and repaint. Although I'd recommend hammerite spray, bet you'd get a slightly nicer finish - do it in a warm area if you can too.

Because of the colour of the hammerite?

Re: Forks - Repainted
 

I'm guessing he means the colour, hammerite should be fine lots of people use hammerite. I've used it on engines and exhausts (high temp stuff) and I know someone that did a whole car in it and the finish was professional (took a lot of cutting & buffing!)
