What paint have you gone with please.....Rhughes945 wrote: βFri Feb 14, 2020 11:55 am Paint for my forks arrived today so over the weekend I'll be taking my dremel sanding attachments to the shite paintwork, priming and then respraying.

Glad as I'm going to be keeping it another year instead of getting some fancy new steed...
