spraying is easy just preperation takes so time, properley degress and clean forks, mask up and cover anything that you dont want sprayed,wire brush forks then wipe clean, put a heater near the forks to warm them to a good painting temp,

if its a light colour you will have to use loads of primer, wet dry lightly then spray 4 thin coats of enamel

Looks grate, what brand of paint did you use and where did you get it ? I've been wanting to spray mine white for ages.

Powdercoated is much better, I didn't want to strip the forks
