I got mine powdercoated for £20... Bargain. Cheaper than doing it by spray can, better, and prettier. No contest.

Many, many years ago, a chum had the fork sliders on his CB750 dipped or sprayed (I don't know which) in a black plastic coating. Now, that was a good coating. Softish, so it didn't chip if hit by a stone, just a little ding in it.
