I did my forks 5 years ago with the Rustoleum appliance epoxy and they still look good. I did my fork trees and headlight trim ring, battery band, redid the air shocks I bought and my rear pulley cover. No one can tell it's a rattle can. If Joe was closer and I was more patient I'd hit him up for sure. One day I'm sending him my spare rocker covers to powder.

Here's my write up with Joe's original link for this!

I might look into that, however I'm mechanically retarded and not sure if I'd feel comfortable dismantling my forks. Seems like a great option for less than half the price. I'm not 100% but I might wait until winter to get all my stuff done being that I just got the bike not that long ago and I can't get off the bike for more than an hour or two

I just finished powder coating mine gloss black. I actually bought new ones, then changed them over, but its not bad at all to tear them down and do it yourself. Not alot to it. Common sense, just take a few notes on the order the parts came out and place it back. There are a few seals that you might need a tool a for, and one that you have to pound down (not hard) to get it to see properly, but you could do it yourself for cheaper then what you mentioned, and have a tool or two after to show for it....
i sanded and painted mine using the epoxy paint mentioned above it looked great ...but after riding a few months it already chipping a bit ....in the off season i will send them to Joe to powdercoat....thats the best option. maybe i did something wrong when i painted them.....in the long run powdercoating is the way to go
