Stone chipped forks

[Flipfly]

Any clues as the best coating for the fork bottoms on a 1150. They are really badly stone chipped and let the rest of the bike down. I thought of silver powder coating as an option.

time spent on prep work is never wasted....mask off really well, then go for it.

Fork legs - Hammerite Smooth

I had a similar problem on my 1100, the answer was the same, albeit in Black

Good One,looks good in black,also hides the dirt better

Thanks folks. I was expecting a deep and technical answer involving multiple paint types depending on air temperature and how the moon looks on the day the paint is applied.

Hammerite smooth it shall be.
