progressive seems to be the company of choice for shocks around the forum, I went with burly shocks (they are made by progressive from what I understand) because I wanted my bike slammed in the back and they are the lowest I found.
If you are mechanically inclined, the fork lowers aren't too bad. Get yourself a service manual if you don't already have one and it spells it out. You have to completely disassemble your forks so you can just powder the tubes. Some guys on here have had success painting them also, it would be less work but powder will hold up better. Get a hold of JRK5892 he is a member on here who runs a PC business, he can answer any of the PC questions you might have.

I was surprised at how well it turned out. He used a good textured paint (not quite wrinkle black) and the nuts are powder coated. Turned out to be not too expensive, looks fine to me, and is holding up good.

powdercoating
I had Joe do the powdercoating. I took the shocks apart and just had him do
the cups. I like the mix of black and chrome.
He also powdered the fork sliders, hubs, and rims for me.
