Make sure you get the right stuff, just cheap under coat, good stuff for a good finish for the black, is it matte or gloss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Hops_Alot Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'd prefere gloss to be honest for a good shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_oll Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 You could spray them yourself or look through the yellow pages for a plastic coating or spraying firm???There's one near me (Castleford), i got some forks coated and it only cost a tenner!

El Cristoff Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I found if you primer white first, you can see the parts where you missed much easier as the grey is very dark so rub the fork with sandpaper, prime it, 3 coats of black, laqur, wait for it to dry, woop woop, jobs a good'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Sand down gently, white primer (apply thin coat, then repeat until you're happy) montana gold spray paint, in black of course (this stuff really is amazing, best paint by lightyears, look on graffiti shops/ websites like Graphotism. Light coats and same drill as with the primer)Then laquer the beasts when the paints dry (only takes about 5-10 seconds per coat) go for the gently-gently approach with the laquer aswell.Leave to fully dry then go ride! all should cost no more than, say £10-15.Matt It's how i'd do it.
