I think I put my socks on too soon because now they're stuck & I can't get them off!

Now you've got some extra protection against road rash

as ive read joe it shouldnt be used on parts with alot of wear and tear type action but what about doing the brake caliper as it would look good in a gloss black as well?

I wonder what the stainless looks like. I already bought the black epoxy spray paint to do my fork lowers but the stainless might look pretty good. I do like the looks of the original forks on my pewter bike but it sure didn't last looking good.

i painted mine with it about 3 years ago i havent touched it up at all. i had my rims and tripple trees powdercoated and my trees have some dings and chips of paint missing now and the lower sliders dont so i would highly recommend this for people who can do it them selves or arent located near a good powdercoater that and its cheap as hell 20 dollars and a few hours of your time and you got fresh paint
