Nice job. You're a better man than me. I have developed a less involved way to paint fork legs. I use Hammerite silver high gloss and a very fine, really small brush. Leave the fork legs on the bike, sand them down and then paint them by hand with this small brush. On my VFR you can see it was done by hand when you look closely. On older BMWs you almost cannot see that the legs were painted by hand. They have a sort of rough surface that hides brush strokes very well.
@@carsyoungtimerfreak1149 Too kind. I did think about using Hammerite but was not too sure about how it might react to etching primer and Lacquer. Thanks for commenting and watching. Great to hear from other VFR owners.
@@ALifetimeMeasuredinMiles I do not use any primer with Hammerite. 2 coats are sufficient. I tried lacquer and that did not work well. The lacquer I used did react with the Hammerite. So I now only use Hammerite and that works well, quite durable.

@carsyoungtimerfreak1149 Yes I am a fan of it for many things. Useful to hear your own experience.
