I think sand blast them first, than gold powder coat and bake it. But it will come out glossy I think. Let us know how u get on.
i have a black 2011 with gold forks. i'm considering getting those things painted. my gut says they need to be a different color. has anyone done that? any suggestions or pics? many thanks!
i work with a lot of different anodized metal (and finishes), and have been told from our supplier that you cannot anodize over anodize.
My plan was to have the forks powder coated immediately after I bought it. However, I think I am going to Plasti-Dip mine to save the work of disassembling them. Plus, with Plasti-Dip, I will be able to remove it if I decide to sell the bike in order to return it to stock.
I checked out that plasti-dip and it doesn't seem that it will be a durable finish.
