TMX Fork Springs

[vintagebikes]

My fork gaiters were destoryed so I cut them off and found there are coil springs over the forks these would look super cool exposed but would rust out pretty quick. Does any one have any ideas how to paint them or coat them so they wont rust that will hold up to the flex of compressing and releasing the spring. This bike will be a road bike only so im not worried about dirt and rocks be propelled into them.

vintagebikes,
Why don't you power coat the springs the same color as your tank.
Or just do them black etc.
Thanks.

I would like to do black over polished fork tubes buy I'm wondering if paint out powder coat would crack from the springs compressing

vintagebikes,
You can power coat or paint and it wont crack, or you could have the springs powder coat in a chrome finish etc!!
Thanks.

Perfect thanks. Also i have a bunch of parts stacked up ready for you. I had plan on just making a cheap runner till my cb was done but now the whole thing is torn apart getting cleaned, painted and fixed
