I was wondering how are those wheels holding up. I have done my wife's car wheels and they hold up great but I have never used the clear coat does it make it shinny enough

Any issues doing the forks? I have a Road King that is in desperate need of a blacked out front end. Wanted to make sure the movement didn't cause plastic to mess up the fork seals or something...

Your whole fork is done in plastidip?? Even the inside part the slider slides over? That's amazing if so. I figured it would get rubbed off quickly.

Yup! I took the fender, brakes, and wheel off. Covered the bike and reflectors and sprayed. You can get just under the fork slider covers that no one will ever see under there, especially under load, it'll compress to cover. I did about 4 coats. In that pict, it probably had 6000 miles on it. It's pretty durable. I've touched up other parts by spraying on cardboard the using something small to dab it on a blemish.

Well, I had Gunmetal gray and black sitting in my garage. Figured since I was servicing my WG. Why not. Blacked out forks, primary cover, rear struts, battery box, fuse panel, coil cover, and rear axle covers. Grayed tins and faring. Waiting for new leds for rear fender. Before
