You are being very persistant! Maybe if i hold out a bit longer you'l get so bothered by me not doing it you'l offer to do it for me

I've painted 2 sets of curvy forks one on and one set off the bike and it didn't make much odds really. Both took a day to do and both looked good when finished.
I'd rather spend a few hours every 6/12 months painting the forks than polishing them, polishing is never ending once its been polished you have to keep polishing over and over again. With painting you paint them and that's it your done for a year with them just needing a wash now and again

and exactly, i dont mind painting them again every so often and any excuse to fiddle about with the bike is only good news to me
and thankyou everyone else for the advice etc!
