Default Appliance paint?

Well the misses doesnt like the look of her triple tree.

The top clamp is polished and the bottom isnt.

I removed the black risers and installed chrome HD pullback risers.

She wants the triple tree black. I can yank it off this winter and have it PC'd or leave it in place and try some appliance paint.

Opinions?

Send it to Powder Pro for PC. He does outstanding work!

I'll be sending him my triple trees and lower forks for black PC soon (translation = as soon as I get a job)

I used bedliner touch up paint from O Reilley's. Kinda flat black, about the same as an inner fairing. Impervious to fuel or almost anything. Sticks good.

You're not going to be able to prep the parts well leaving them in place. Just take them off and do it right with the powder coating.

if you are wondering we would charge 175 for the trees and lower legs coated in any shade of black... if you are going to shoot them in paint remvoe the trees scuff and shoot that is the only way to get a solid covering. if you want to go powder we would be more than happy to help out!

Send the triple trees to Joe Knapp. He's the best power coater in the USA. Just ask him - he'll tell you.
