Hey all, 

I polished mine up with wet and dry and they came up a treat.  Didn't Bother with another plastic type coating as it in my opinion would just get damaged again.  

Thanks binnsy,  they look Bette than new mate. 

Thanks, I also just got told by an auto paint shop that 2 Pac clear is the way to go with clear coat on aluminum or metal. 

Adam76 , I have always just polished, as any type of coating will eventually chip ( if you ride a lot.

agree with Krash here, I wrapped my lowers before doing Tassie and served their purpose but started to lift on the edges (admittedly it was my first crack at doing this) so ended up removing it. Got the usual stone chips in the factory clear coating and took the opportunity while changing fork oil to polish them up - wet and dry and reducing grit size and final polish, been like this for about a year and easy to keep clean.

i done as Binnsy described 15 odd years ago on mine, & again as he described, a periodic polish up as one would do with any other part of the bike, & theyr still sweet as.....forget about recoating

Cerakote do a clear.Its tough stuff.i just did some fork lowers after vapour blasting on another project im doing.

Nice. They came up alright. Did you do the cerakote yourself Crowster? Or a paint shop?

400, 800, 1200, 2000 grit wet & dry followed by final polish with a green scotchbrite pad.

This was first polish in 2018, right leg done. Gave it a polish again with scotchbrite only in 2020. 

good job Smokie, 

Nice work Smokie, they look awesome. 👍

Just use it horizontally, keep it perpendicular to the leg, soapy water, keep it wet. try and keep even pressure all around. 

If you're really committed, you could pull the legs and put them in a lathe and scotchbrite 'em that way...
