The only "secret" here is that I started with a part that has a machined finish. That gives it a deeper, more 3 dimensional look.

I could bring it down at the next TMAC I make it to, or you could send your fender up here when the snow hits the ground?

Member Contributer jaimev34 Posted November 12, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 12, 2010 Do you anticipate any problems with stiction or any other problems resulting from the finish maybe not being as smooth as the original coatings on the forks? I didn't make any alterations to the fork tube itself, just cosmetic changes on the outside of the slider and the fork bottom(these are USD forks). The tube is masked off with the blue tape you can see there, and I did a careful job of backtaping the sliders so no paint would get inside. . :fing02: Oh, gotcha. Thought you painted the surface of the part that slides into the upper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer flavadave Posted November 12, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 12, 2010 Fork you :laughing6-hehe: I get it :laughing6-hehe: it's funny because he he used the word "fork" instead of the other work (which is naughty) and it nade it funny :laughing6-hehe: although the added picture of the forks was great :laughing6-hehe: and painted flat black to boot, which gives it deeper meaning :laughing6-hehe: OMG you guys are the best. I really do enjoy all this forking humor :laughing6-hehe: Speaking of flat black, I think I would like to see some ghosted skulls worked in to the paint job you have. If I owned it that is, just my thoughts. HAve a great Friday all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIFFER93 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 This very cool. My question/concern is sliding those into the trees w/out scratching them after all that work. I think I would be paranoid and end up detailing the inside of the clamps, sprinkling them with holy water and have a strong Jack and coke standing by... to celebrate with or numb the pain if even one itty bitty scatch happens.

Member Contributer flavadave Posted November 12, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 12, 2010 How did that cost compare to Powder Coating? Same, more, less? I dig the shinny gold BTW The cost will likely depend on who does the coating. The guy that I'm using now doesn't know of any powders that are a match for the gold anodize look, although there is "talk in the PC community" of developing such a powder. I powered almost everthing on a old SECA 900 some years back. It turned out hard as nails but the colors were a bit limited then. And it was all free, a friend owed me big time and pulled some strings I never saw the tab. Keep it going, there has to be at least one other part that NEEDS to be painted the same color just to bring it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 So are they more yellow than you wanted them? A bit, yes. I think they look great though. In person, they're as close to gold anodize as it gets, without actually anodizing them. :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted November 13, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted November 13, 2010 Getting something clear or black anodized is usually a bit cheaper for small parts, as most industrial places just throw the small stuff in with the big parts to save cost and whatnot. Colors are usually too specific to do the same with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Well, I was kind of kidding. I am going to have some made up because I have those R1 forks with the Ohlins springs. I will let you know. In that case, I'll ask Throttlepimp if he'll make us some. How many do you want, and what size? PM me! Hey viffer, I pm'd Throttlepimp - definitely getting some for myself; let me know if you want some as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
