ok guys so here is the question. as you all know i am doing this on Margarita Island and i cant just run down the the parts store or chrome shop. i was hopping that the forks were going to beable to get cleaned up (at least a little) but as you can see i need to do something. i would like to paint them black so i am open to any and all ideas on how to do it so that it looks good and will last.

my thoughts are to attack them with a steel brush and scuff them up real good, them prime and paint (thinking on doing this to all my chrome). i do know of a good painter down there, but tools etc are VERY limited.

also thinking might be a good time to put rubber fork boots on but not sure if it will trap all the humidity

in the seal area needs to be SMOOTH chrome, but the rest can be cleaned with a scotch bright pad on an air angle grinder , then sprayed with a bed liner product from Dupli-Color called bed armor. i did my lowers with 3 light coats and it looks great and seems to hold up good, so far it doesn't have ANY chips at all . about $14 per spray can. if i can figure how to add a picture i'll show what it looks like
