This winter thinking about polishing lower legs or stay with the black theme and paint them.also has anybody heard of transparent black paint?

 

It's Aug 2nd, sunny and 90 degrees. We have a relatively short prime riding season and you're thinking about winter mods?

 

Think about winter mods in the late fall get out a ride man!!

 

In my work conditions it take that long to save the money that i need to complete the mods,proper planning doesn't affect my riding now or later.

 

If you are like me and are sitting at work surfing on here, then prudent planning is a good idea!!! I have not heard of "transparent black paint" though.

 

VHT makes a transparent black paint to tint lens covers. Dont know how it would hold up on fork lowers. http://www.vhtpaint.com/niteshades.html. I would powdercoat them black along with your trees.

 

Just found Dupli color black chrome translucent paint, black base with top clear coat.for painting over chrome or other metal finishes.going to try it on some old chrome parts ill post the results when done,unless some else has tried this first.

 

Sounds pretty cool. I'm curious to see how it turns out. Wonder if its durable enough for the lower forks?

 

Just talked to a friend who owns a paint shop and siad after we spray he has some clear left over from house of colors we'll try on the test pieces.
