Requesting some pics of your powder coated fork tins or some painted ones if they've held up. Thinking of doing mine black, like the lower legs(paint)and was looking for some comparison pics.

So far, so good. I couldn't bring myself to PC the chrome tins, so I got a set of brushed to use. The coater said it was on for good.

Many of my chrome parts have been powder coated and it's holding up real good, no chipping!
I soon plan to powder coat my whole front end.

I had originally planned to PC the whole front end black, but after installing the tins I thought the chrome legs gave it just the right amount of flash.

MMMM. Flash! Sounds good. I'm going to do the whole front end so there's no color variations.
