I'll admit after all that sweat and elbow grease the results can be gratifying but...
To me, it is just easier to pull out a piece of plastic from my wallet, sit on the computer for 10 minutes and wait for the box of chrome lowers to come home. From there it is a simple install and a couple of beers.
You know, sometimes that is just as gratifying !

Forks done
Just finished mine last night, Very happy with the results. Only issue I had was removing clearcoat, I used stypeez remover, Had to apply it 3 times then wrapped it in plastic to slow evaporation, There was still much left on forks, I read another forum and followed that advice, used permatex gasket remover, left it on overnight, Worked great , just had to wipe it off. I started at 400 grit, then 600,800,1000,2000, 3000, Bought some buffing pads for a drill and used Brown tripoli buffing compound, followed by white, & finished with Jewelers red. The mothers Mag & aluminum. It was a lot of work, but very happy.

Looks like you have it on the run, Cruzo.
Much respect for seeing your vision through.
I took a shot at this on my Slim and it was coming along in sections, but I was spending way too much time in the garage for my other commitments.
I bit the bullet and just did what I really wanted. Found some marked down OEM blacked out parts, and had them installed at the stealership. I can't do any work in my garage with fluids per my lease anywho.
